Want to learn about tiny ocean plants, their overwhelming beauty and importance for our planet? Join artist Camilla Brendon and marine biologist Britt Alexander for an interdisciplinary art-science workshop on phytoplankton! You will get to design tiny ocean plant logos and learn how to make natural non-chemical household cleaner that doesn’t harm ocean life. You can also take a selfie with a giant phytoplankton and ask questions about why they are so important for climate change.

This workshop is part of ‘A Fragile Ocean’ - an exhibition and symposium showcasing interdisciplinary work by artists, environmentalists and scientists during Sail Britain 2019 expeditions. Camilla and Britt will talk during the evening symposium about their collaboration focusing on spreading ocean literacy through art. 

Entrance to the exhibition and symposium is free. Tickets to the workshop are £5 for and adults, £3 for children (under 16) and concessions, and £12 for a family (two adults and up to two children). The workshops aren’t funded and all proceeds go towards their running and materials.  Workshops will start hourly from 12:00 - 17:00. Register here or contact Camilla through instagram or email camillabrendon@gmail.com.

Camilla and Britt would like to thank The Goes Foundation for supporting their workshop with written and visual material on phytoplankton.
