Information - From Seed to HoneyComb
Geometry in Nature: From Seed to Honeycomb
Workshop with Emma Kerridge-Conium
Step into the hidden world of nature’s patterns and discover how geometry shapes everything from flowers and plants to honeycombs and living ecosystems.
In this inspiring hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to construct the Seed of Lifeusing a drawing compass, uncovering one of nature’s most beautiful geometric forms. As we explore the patterns that connect the natural world, you’ll experiment with colour pencil techniques to transform your drawings into vibrant works of art before adding your own personal wish for the environment.
Building on these new skills, we’ll create a striking geometric honeycomb design while learning about the incredible role bees play in pollination, biodiversity, and the health of our ecosystems.
Combining art, mathematics, environmental learning, and creativity, this workshop is a chance to slow down, immerse yourself in nature’s designs, and gain a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
What you’ll discover:
• How geometry appears throughout nature
• Compass drawing techniques and geometric construction
• Creative colouring and design methods
• The importance of bees and biodiversity
• New ways to connect with environmental themes through art
