GETTING INTO HOT WATER
A POND OVER TIME
Taking the time to notice, attend to and benefit from a small body of still water
A Pond Over Time is a six month project in partnership with Riverside House that brings people together to creatively explore and appreciate a newly created pond in an urban environment
Water - Curiosity - Wonder - Wellbeing

The Riverside pond, November 2023
FREE WORKSHOPS
We are organising a series of pondering workshops during June, July and August 2024, where small groups can join artists Helen Garbett and Bill Laybourne to spend time away from the everyday, slow down, pay attention to and notice the natural world amongst our busy urban landscape.
Creative activities include focused conversation, deep listening, guided visualisation, drawing, collage, photography and film making. We will show our collective work at the end of the project in October 2024.
The benefits of attending a workshop include an increased appreciation of water and ponds within the natural world locally, shared learning, developed artists skills, engagement with natural heritage and an improved sense of wellbeing.
Suitable for adults and young people aged 16+
