Feedback from workshops: Articulture and the Artscape Public Project
Whilst Billie's work may be considered conceptual her approach is pragmatic and grounded which makes her work accessible to anyone of any age. Her audience engagement was informative and fun and appealed to all on many levels. Billie's warm and approachable personality made this a very enjoyable experience for Articulture.

I have delivered 'Carbon Connection' workshops making charcoal with various groups including:
Oriel Davies Gallery - Designing and delivering a 6 week Course. Connecting with Wellbeing and Greenspace though Carbon Connections
Oriel Davies Gallery Newtown - Criw Celf Youth Group. Making and Exploring connections to green space. Making charcoal, inks and paints made from foraged organic materials.
Oriel Davies Gallery Newtown - Men's Shed & Wellbeing in Greenspace
Artscape PowysCC & Partners - Public workshops & demonstrations collaborating with BiocharWales & Montgomery Wildlife Trust. Families and groups attending live performances at the Hafren Forest to coincide with Cop26
Open Newtown - Autumn Share Public Arts Event Newtown- Engaging General Public and Young Families
Sacred Carbon Connections - Both Fire and Carbon are sacred. They are not to blame for our current crisis that is the man made abuse of its power and energy at the detriment of the earth. The elemental energy involved should be treated with creative curiosity, reverence and care.
The workshops I facilitate allow room to reimagine our relationship to carbon through foraging, sustainability and transforming organic materials into Charcoal, Biochar and creative materials. Through curiosity and creative play we can see carbons true sacred potential and store it for the future. Through the magic of pyrolysis we can see transformation in process and reconnect with the true energy and potency of carbon.
We explore making charcoal, carbon treasures, hand made egg tempera paint & inks
Foraging and sustainably sourcing art materials and temporary art forms
Making landscape interventions, joining together to share possible rituals and ceremony to compost and store biochar for the future
