Finding Wonder
A sculpture and contemplation workshop with Michael Johnson. At Michael’s workshops you will create your own ‘relic’ of wonder, using found organic material from within the grounds of Mottisfont. By close observation, participants will find objects from the ground; a starting point of conversation, a gateway entry into a story. Wild cherry wood charcoal will be on offer to help you create imaginative images, and unlock the stories hidden in the your materials and memories. (Sustainable charcoal will be used). At Michael’s workshops you will create a sculpture that will become part of the showcase on 14th May. You will also explore and record its story through writing and drawing. Poetic Writing and/or Mindful Movement Workshops with Maija Liepins Maija’s will take you on a journey through the natural environment, exploring using your the five senses will help you locate stories in found ‘artifacts’ such as a twig, stone or leaf. You may also reflect upon ‘experiences’ such as sitting with a Mottisfont vista, sharing stories under a Mottisfont tree, or meeting memories at the font. Choose a poetic writing workshop or a mindful movement workshop to guide your pathway of discovery. Maija will show you how to follow your impulses to create an uninhibited stream-of-consciousness in words or through mindful movement. At Maija’s workshops you will work with the artist to create audio or video recordings from your creations that will become part of the showcase on 14th May.
