Jordan's Farm
Wakes Colne
Essex
Set amongst 35 beautiful acres in the North Essex village of Wakes Colne sits Jordan's Farm. A haven for wildlife, this small farm has BIG eco ambitions to create a healthier world...
When I first visited Jordan's Farm I was in complete awe. A rewilding project, a flower farm to encourage locally grown bouquets, chickens, goats, owls...and Alex, the woman behind it all. The eco-driven dream behind Jordan's Farm is one I understand and share. To be able to offer workshops here, alongside a woman with a love of this earth that aligns with my own, is very exciting!
With exclusive use of the teepee amongst the fields, I will guide you in creating your own striking prints through the traditional, and eco-friendly technique of lino-print. We will walk amongst the farm's homegrown sunflowers to look, sketch and draw inspiration from, before taking a seat to design, carve and print.
Please note that no art experience is necessary, as this workshop is about connecting with nature and yourself through creativity and the truly fun medium of print. It is completely beginner friendly. We'll be working with non~toxic, animal~friendly, vegetable oil based inks to create your prints, ready to take home and frame!
All art materials, coffee and a selection of teas are included in this workshop.
£30 per person
About Jordan's Farm
Jordan’s Farm is an environmental opportunity for good, where rewilding acres of land sits side by side with flower and foliage farming in a bid to work with, and for, Earth. This ethos is one that runs throughout all that they do at Jordan's Farm, and sustainability is at the very core.
‘Rewilding the Outback’ is Jordan's Farm's contribution to help nurture this planet. Rewilding 21 acres of previously farmed land to help to mitigate climate change and biodiversity loss in the UK. The two are interlinked and must be successfully addressed at every level for our future.
The UK flower industry is growing and Jordan's Farm Foliage & Flowers are part of the revolution. They grow with the seasons, in soil which is nurtured and with minimal impact on the environment. In this way they can use the rest of the land both productively and for nature.
