SUMMARY:Land & Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Lin & Jemima studied ceramics together at Bath Academy of Art.\nAfter graduating Jemima moved to Shaftesbury and taught Art & Design at William Barnes School\, Sturminster Newton before moving to the hills of West Wales to farm with her husband and young family. Recently she and her husband have retired to Cornwall to be with their son and his family. Her work is exhibited at The Maritime Gallery in St Ives.\n“I have been so fortunate to live in such beautiful surroundings\,” she says\, “and I have continued to work in ceramics\, inspired by the landscape around me. I often return both to West Wales and to Dorset so my work is infused by my love of all these places”.\nLin moved to London after her degree to study at Goldsmiths\, followed by teaching\nin Inner London before bringing up a family in Surrey where she completed an\nMA at the University of the Creative Arts. When the opportunity arose to relocate to\nWiltshire she followed a dream to set up a studio and pursue her own work full time.\n‘My Work evolves from a preoccupation with the residue of human existence and\nthe beauty of an unconscious or fleeting mark . The marks made and the residue left\nare the result of societies engagement with \, and attempts to map and control\, the\nenvironment ‘.

SUMMARY:b-side Festival
DESCRIPTION:b-side is an internationally recognised and locally loved arts organisation that both embodies and enriches its place of origin – the Isle of Portland in Dorset. \nThis year\, b-side Festival returns for their 2022 edition\, launching 15 brand new artworks under the theme of ‘Common Lands’ which invites visitors to explore their relationship to the unique landscape of Portland. \nTaking place across four days between September 8th-11th\, Portland will host both local and international artists who will take festival-goers on an experimental tour around this distinctive part of the UK\, exploring its history through their creative visions. From abseiling down Portland’s infamous cliffsides to a one-to-one poetry workshop\, to diving into an augmented reality artwork of mythical mermaids and taking part in print and banner-making workshops\, there’s something for all the family to enjoy. \nThe festival will also culminate in The Big Portland Parade\, where attendees will be invited to a joint celebration of Portland. United under the theme of ‘Keep Portland Weird\,’ attendees are encouraged to show off their most weird and wonderful outfits in a parade led by the local community\, volunteers and b-side artists. \nPlease visit our website to see the full programme of events held across the four-day festival.

SUMMARY:Discovering bats
DESCRIPTION:Let’s see how many bat species we can discover on this exciting bat walk at Bere Marsh Farm. \nLed by guest expert Mariko Whyte from the Dorset Bat Group\, you’ll get to use heterodyne bat detectors and learn lots of fascinating facts along the way from Mariko. \nWe have been monitoring bats at Bere Marsh Farm for several years to help us better understand this intriguing species. There are 18 bat species in the UK\, and we have routinely recorded 7 of these at Bere Marsh Farm to date. Advances in technology in recent times have made it easier for us to learn about these fascinating and secretive creatures of the night. \nOur walk takes place from 8pm-10pm\, an ideal time to see and hear bat activity. We will explore a variety of habitats on the farm including open fields and woodland margins. Who knows\, we may encounter a bat species not previously recorded at Bere Marsh Farm before.
