We're celebrating heritage week at Wild Nephin National Park with Wilderland artist Mary Conroy. Join us for an Open Studio afternoon for Mary’s Stone Shelters project, where she’ll be demonstrating the making process for her sculpture, using moulds of local river rocks to create ceramic stone shelters.

You can join in making these ceramic shelters, and get a glimpse into how the project developed, from research and rock samples, to the plaster moulds, works-in-progress and some of the fired ceramic pieces.

We’ll be hosting a space for conversation about art & ecology, the power of creativity and community climate action, and what sustainable arts practice really means, so join us for the afternoon.

You can also join in the NPWS guided habitat walk, for some pond-dipping to discover what aquatic plants and animals we can find, and to learn about biodiversity in our river systems.

All welcome.
