WITH BEAUTY BEFORE US:
the Springtime wildflowers of Crete
17 – 24  April, 2012
with Jan O'Highway

Next April I am really delighted to have been asked to present a workshop in Crete - and I'm hoping you can join us. Our subject will be the beauty of Cretan wildflowers - and how to interpret that beauty through the new art of Scanner Photography. The invitation comes from the environmental charity Flowers of Crete, in association with the Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC), where I've exhibited scanner-prints in Botanic Art exhibitions in previous years.
The week-long workshop will be based at the OAC's own Botanic Museum and Garden, just outside Kolympari on the lovely North West Cretan coast. The not-for-profit OAC has been organizing international conferences and other activities to encourage mutual understanding on an interfaith, intercultural and inter-scientific level since 1968.

With Beauty Before Us is a science/art venture; a week-long print-making workshop exploring the wildflowers and botanical riches of Crete through the slow moving lens of a flatbed scanner. With a focus on the Cretan flora, there will be excursions to the spectacular Spring orchid and wildflower fields of the mountains led by Botanic experts Professor Jacques Zaffran, who established the Botanic Museum and Garden, and Julia Jones FLS (Fellow of the Linnean Society) artist, botanist and President of "Flowers of Crete", a charity dedicated to the preservation of the island's indigenous flora.
Julia who has lived on Crete for 15 years and is passionate about the wildflowers, will be with us for the whole week as Assistant.

Scanner-photography is easy and fun to learn and a great tool for artists, scientists, teachers and anyone who loves exploring the natural world...we'll have walking, talking (lots), an exhibition of work, and a wonderful Gala Dinner with Cretan dancing.

Ruskin Rocks: the sound of nature - the nature of sound

The world-famous percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie is taking part in a new project which introduces children to geology by constructing and playing ‘musical rocks’.
Dame Evelyn Glennie will demonstrate the completed instrument at its launch on 19th August 2010, which is open to the public. 
The University of Leeds has been awarded nearly £200,000 by Natural England, through DEFRA's Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund, to create a 21st century percussion instrument using rocks found throughout Cumbria.
The musical rock instrument will be available to be played by visitors of all ages after its launch in August 2010.
