Phoebe Collings-James and The Wild Escape
This Spring, we are delighted to be collaborating with Phoebe Collings James as Beaconsfield’s Environmental Artist in Residence. Joining the nationwide museum project The Wild Escape, she will be working with ceramics, sound, poetry and collective gathering to explore the multifaceted meanings of the term ‘sustainability’.
Beaconsfield's Wild Escape Events
Connecting to The Wild Escape campaign which highlights the importance of re-wilding our greenspaces with indigenous plants and animals, children and their families will help propogate vital pollinater plant species in Beaconsfield's garden-yard as well as learning how to make a ceramic plant pot to nurture plants at home.
