SUMMARY:Unearthing the North Pennines - indoor workshop
DESCRIPTION:A volunteer opportunity to help unearth the mining archives of the North Pennines\, at High Forest Community Centre\, Sinderhope\, 10 August\, 10am to 3pm. \nThis indoor workshop is designed to make use of volunteers’ knowledge while developing a shared understanding of the North Pennines mining landscape. No previous knowledge is required\, although those with an interest in mining history or industrial archaeology will have plenty of opportunity to contribute. \nThe morning session will be working with historic photographs\, maps and plans to help identify mining features and create an annotated resource. The afternoon session will focus on reviewing the ‘long list’ of priority recording sites in the North Pennines. \nThis hands-on workshop will also build resources for future volunteers\, and help shape which North Pennines mining sites Land of Lead and Silver’s records. \nSuitable for 18+ only. Please contact us if you have any accessibility requirements. Refreshments will be provided. Please bring a packed lunch. \nSign up using the volunteer system Better Impact \n \n

SUMMARY:Metal point drawing workshop
DESCRIPTION:Explore the unique qualities of metal point drawing in this Rooted in Lead workshop\, on Saturday 11th July\, 10.30am to 3.30pm at High Forest Community Centre\, Sinderhope. \nThe workshop is suitable for adults of all abilities. No previous drawing experience is needed and  will be led by artist Carole McCourt. You will draw using metals that directly reference the mining history of the North Pennines and the materials once extracted from its hillsides such as lead\, silver and copper. \nThe session begins with an introduction to historical metal point techniques\, learn how metal point works\, why artists have used it for centuries\, and what makes it so distinctive. \nYou will then create your own detailed botanical drawings inspired by the rare metalliferous plants that grow on former lead mining sites and explore the fine lines\, subtle tonal shifts and luminous qualities that metal point can produce. \nAll materials and refreshments provided. \nPlease book your place using the link to TicketSource

SUMMARY:Botanical drawing workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Linda Garrard for a hands-on drawing workshop at High Forest Community Centre\, Sinderhope\, on Sunday 21 June\, 10.30am to 3.30pm\, inspired by the extraordinary plants that grow on the old lead mining landscapes of the North Pennines. \nThe workshop is suitable for adults of all abilities. No previous drawing experience is needed. \nThe session begins with an introduction to the rare lead tolerant flowers that survive in these challenging soils\, including spring sandwort\, alpine pennycress and wild mountain pansies. You will learn what makes these plants so unusual and why they matter. \nYou will also explore the work of artists who use botanical subjects in their practice. This short introduction ranges from traditional plant studies to contemporary artists who use botanical forms to explore ecology\, fragility and place. \nThe practical part of the Rooted in Lead workshop focuses on charcoal and chalk drawing. Linda will guide you through different techniques for mark making\, tone\, texture and expressive drawing. Try out several ways of using these materials\, from careful observational studies to bold drawings that capture the character of these remarkable plants and the landscapes they inhabit. \nAll materials and refreshments provided. \nPlease book your place using the link to TicketSource

SUMMARY:Introduction to QGIS workshop
DESCRIPTION:Help us map historic sites by learning how to use this digital mapping software\, QGIS (Quantum Geographic Information System). This can be used to look at how many historic sites we have in a particular area of the North Pennines\, where they are located\, and give insight into how the sites were used. \nThe QGIS workshop is on Thursday 4 December 10am to 4pm\, at High Forest Community Centre\, Sinderhope. \nQGIS is a free digital mapping software that is commonly used in archaeology and heritage management. The programme can be used to gather\, store and visualise data. You will also receive a copy of our QGIS manual that you can keep and use as you continue using the programme. \nPlease note\, all attendees need to be over the age of 18 and will need to bring along their own laptop in order to be able to join the workshop. \nPlease sign up using the volunteer system Better Impact. \n
