Elders 14 – Grass monoprints, beaks and geese

We meet under the hornbeams this day, (making way for another group under the parachute), where we shared our homework on beaks which meandered into geese. Why do birds have beaks? AI returned, feeding cleaning, next building, manipulating their environment. How does the woodpecker not suffer from RSI? The Ralwey T who thought himself a bird. He was called ‘The Beak’. Was he fed by the footman who climbed the tree to feed him. The puffin has the most extraordinary beak. We deviated to geese and a story of a goose which was hung and plucked left in the larder over night, and found alive the next morning. The thought of eatining him now intolleratble, she knitted a full body coat for him, and he lived to a grand old age. They herded geese from Norfolk to London, and someone had to make hundreds of feet protectors out of leather. THis story filmed called Singleton’s Pluck

With little time left Kally got out the mono prints and with glasses collected we made a few prints.

Thank you all for your words of reflection for our time together. They were touching to read, and will form the meat of our future funding application.
