These beautiful ink drawings were made by participants in a workshop led by artist Julie Forrester about what we might find in the Glen and later inspired by a walk in the park with Éanna Ní Lamhna, at our inaugural event on 22 September 2023.The drawings were digitally captured before the natural inks made from bramble and oak gall darkened. The charcoal comes from alder and willow trees that grow abundantly in the wonderful wetland.
