Modern fossil making at The McKechnie Institute

Modern fossil making at The McKechnie Institute

Together we will create “modern fossils” using the found objects from the Girvan coastline. Using plastic items and other everyday materials, we will make prints and impressions in air-drying clay — imagining what traces of our time might remain in the future.

This workshop is part our of activities with artist in residence Claudia Zeiske.

How to book:
