Wild Presentation.

Thursdays 8th August

From 11.00am to 2.30pm

People who attend will be making some traditional crafts (totem pole, dream catchers with willow and journey sticks). The hope is that the totem pole will be added to by each group and will become the central display piece for all the work to hang off. This will be led by the Environment and Me Team at WWT. They will be working with Simon Watts from Wild Presentations who will be showing people how to make the best use of their smart phone cameras and how to break the traditions of photography to get some great photos (shooting into the sun for example) – which again we will display. We will also have a small video booth set up to capture people’s favourite green spaces and why they are important to them to turn into a short clip that can be shown!
