Experimental learning offers a variety of experiences that cannot be acquired in a typical classroom environment, especially in natural sciences. Fieldwork-based education promotes critical thinking and problem solving, assisting in the retention of new scientific concepts. “EDUCOAST – Nature-Based Education in Coastal GeoSciences – A field station in southern Portugal” aims at promoting nature-based education in coastal and marine geosciences through classroom lecturing and field-based practical exercises. The educational offer includes school (elementary and high) and local associations’ visits on-demand with hands-on activities, academic training (internships, M.Sc., and Ph.D.), international summer schools, professional training for maritime personnel, tourism professionals, and secondary school teachers. The project is the joint collaboration between the the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere, I. P. (promoter), the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, the Portuguese Environment Agency, I.P., and the Centro de Ciência Viva de Tavira. The EDUCOAST project is funded by the EEA Blue Growth Programme’s grant under call #5 “Education”. It allows the implementation of the training program and covers the expenses of the national and international trainees.

Maureen Crosbie started Gallus Glass in 1999. She is a graduate of Glasgow school of art, originally studied Drawing and Painting but now works almost exclusively in glass. “I am influenced by history of Scotland, it's dominating natural history and landscapes, and by the tradition of historical stained glass work. I translating these into my own contemporary style. I have also recently become interested in the potential of painted and fused glass with the inclusion of found objects. I love the concept of freezing a moment in time, holding that thought and capturing the evidence of existence.” Maureen makes large stained glass windows on commission for private and public clients, but also sells smaller free hanging pieces priced to suit all pockets. "The glass has a huge range of possibilities of colour, intensity and texture and this can often dictate the design.” Maureen has recently made Gallus Glass her main focus. Having given up her art teachers job her daily commute is to her bespoke studio. "Making magic at the bottom of the garden."

Learn Bookbinding

learn bookbinding

Learn Bookbinding - Workshops & Bookbinding Supplies. I first became interested in bookbinding at university while studying illustration. As an illustrator of books it was natural for me to want to make my own. Having the ability to bind my own books meant I was able to present my ideas to publishers as a high-quality, faithful representation of the potential published book (which is essential as a Children’s Author-Illustrator). I also became interested in self-publishing my own work as short-run batch productions and selling them via book shops and zine fairs. I learned to bind books as a student and I was aware at the time of the difficulty and expense in locating the ‘correct’ tools and materials. These problems lead me to take traditional bookbinding techniques and develop them in a way that makes bookbinding more accessible to everyone. I have been teaching my unique, user-friendly workshops for over 10 years in educational institutions and to the public and they are always enthusiastically received. I look forward sharing my craft with you soon!

Callington

The Insight Centre: Delivering breakthrough innovation and change Your products, services and technologies have a limited lifetime...... Every product or service and the technologies upon which they are based, will one day become redundant due to: - a diminished market need, - a lack of natural or sustainable resources, or - a new innovative offering meeting the consumers' needs better and cheaper. The speed at which this occurs varies by industry but its inevitability is certain. In today's hyper-competitive global economy, the pace of this disruption to established products, services and technologies is ever increasing, futures are less certain. Your business will eventually have to drive breakthrough change or become its victim. The Insight Centre helps its clients to confront the process of 'Disruptive Breakthrough'. We have a portfolio of tools and processes underpinned by 20 years technical and change management experience in a wide range of industries and environments.

Banstead

Kate Marsden, b. 1978, lives in South London. She is a West Sussex born/London based artist, with a background in Fashion & Textile Design and Surface Pattern Design. Her mixed media paintings, drawings and prints are the result of many years of experimentation alongside her more graphic, illustrative design based work. Kate paints everyday items and objects, and is increasingly inspired by the natural world and the abstraction of it. A desire to alter the viewer’s perception of her subject matter has long been her desired outcome, whether this be via the subversion of a traditional subject, or the beautification of something considered to be ugly or undesirable. Kate’s work can be seen in private collections as well as commercial commissions including at the refurbished South London arts centre, Fairfield Halls. Her fabric designs have graced a wide range products and have featured in both national and international press.

Exeter

Originally from North Devon, I have lived and worked in various countries, particularly the Middle East and Mediterranean, and have been both influenced and inspired by the different cultures and architecture from my travels.  This combined with my keen interest in the environment, nature and the landscape, has provided me with the possibility of creating unique and individual pieces, whilst helping to preserve the natural beauty that surrounds us.   In 2003 I wanted these bright and cheerful mosaics to  withstand all weather conditions so through experimentation I developed this process.  My mosaic mirrors, panels and lamps and balls are designed for both indoor and all year garden display.   They can be used as wall panels – a feature among climbing plants, placed in a gloomy corner, floated on ponds and lakes, hung from trees or filled with solar lights all bringing a splash of colour to our dormant winter landscapes or creating a hint of “The Secret Garden’ beyond. I run a number of different courses and workshops every month to teach this uplifting and cheerful skill whether just as a day out with friends, learning a new hobby or wanting to  improve your skill.  Please contact me for more information.

GAINSBOROUGH

My name is Linda and I have been working full time growing and selling flowers since 2014. Prior to this I worked in the constrution industry for many years, initially in administration and marketing, followed 12 years as PA to the Chairman, through the highs and lows building roads and sewage systems! Then a move into the IT department managing the teams installating IT and telecoms on big construction sites and a lot less exciting stuff resulting in spending far too much time on Doncaster railway station. Time for a change!! Joining the fledgling organisation Flowers from the Farm (FFTF) in 2012 when members numbered around 50, led to becoming co-ordinator for the East Midlands region in 2015 and Co-Chair for a two year fixed term 2018-20. Since I joined FFTF has grown to nearly 1000 members championing local grown flowers. My business increased from selling a few bunches of flowers a week to supplying flowers and floristry for weddings, funerals and in 2020 a big expansion in selling flowers to the general public, followed by a return to farmers’ markets in 2021 where from March to September you will find The Spotted Dog at Brigg, Lincoln and Saxilby. My flowers are grown with the environment in mind. The poly tunnel is unheated, the greenhouse uses electric for only two months of the year, the flowers pesticide free and tonnes of compost are supplied from our own horses and livestock every year, supplemented by bulk green waste. Flowers are supplied wrapped in kraft paper or re-useable vases or buckets depending on volume supplied! I use primarily British flowers, either grown by myself or sourced from other growers, locally in Lincolnshire and Cornwall early/late season. On very rare occasions I will use carefully sourced imported flowers if needed for the work being undertaken although more and more customers are requesting “only British” and are happy to work with the seasons. Media mentions have included BBC Radio 4 Open Country with Helen Mark on her programme ‘Inspired by Flowers in Lincolnshire’, Radio 4 ‘Farming Today’ during British Flowers Week, Radio Newark with Girls About Town, BBC television for RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2018 when I was filmed cutting flowers to ready to transport to London for use in the Flowers from the Farm exhibit when the amazing team won a gold medal. There have also been articles in My Weekly Magazine, Flower Arranger magazine, The Gainsborough Standard, The Lincoln Business Journal and in 2020 The Daily Telegraph in an article about the flower industry during the Covid pandemic. In 2021 I was delighted to welcome Lizzie Musham from BBC Radio Lincolnshire for a field walk ahead of FFTF Flower Farmers Big Weekend and we met up again in November when she joined one of our wreath making workshops at The Cross Keys Stow and made a wreath live on air! I’m passionate about promoting natural funeral flowers suitable for green burial grounds, never use floral foam and in 2020 became an associate member of the Association of Green Funeral Directors. My wedding flowers have appeared on Love My Dress and Rock My Wedding blogs and I undertake weddings only within a 50 mile radius of my home.
