Step off the street and into the woods this winter.

This December and January, artist, poet and horticulturist Terry Hudson, brings the magic of a woodland to Doncaster city-centre through an immersive installation.

Evergreen branches growing from the walls, leaf litter, moss and twigs crunching underfoot - take a breath of heavily oxygenated pine fresh air and listen to the sounds of birdsong overhead.

As part of the installation, Terry will be hosting a series of workshops inviting you to explore a version of Christmas which celebrates creativity, affordability and environmental consciousness, as opposed to unchecked consumerism.

From 11am-4pm, Terry will be hosting free, drop-in workshops on the following dates:-

Saturday 13th December

Saturday 10th January

Saturday 17th January

Come along and take part in a workshop, or bring your own craft project to enjoy a hot drink in a cosy, creative space.

Workshop Timetable (for all 3 Saturday workshop sessions):-

12:00 | Zines 101

Create your own zine and learn about the origins of zine (short for "maga-zine") culture, a DIY approach to publication with its roots in dissident and marginalized communities.

14:00 | From Art of Nowhere

Terry invites you to create your own Blackberry Beastie, a nymph-like tree spirit who guides wandering souls, brought to life in this craft workshop using dead blackberry roots salvaged from Doncaster's woodland. All paints and conjuring spells will be provided.

15:00 | Twelve Hundred Watt Weekender Challenge

Terry has made it his mission to host a 4 day off-grid festival using just 300 Watts per day. Come and learn how to save money and energy by powering your own life using just one Lead Acid Leisure battery. Join the challenge!
