SUMMARY:Made on the Mardyke/Made by the River Thames - Totally Thames 2025
DESCRIPTION:Made on the Mardyke/Made by the River Thames. Rainham Marshes Part 2 \n \nJoin us on Saturday 6th September 11am-4.30pm  – part of Totally Thames Festival 2025 \nIn the morning join artists Charlie Fox and Sylak Ravenspine for a river creature making workshop\, where you can learn or share new skills and explore the creaturely materials found in the Thames. Materials partially transformed by the river’s own skills and vitality refashioned as the hybrid skins of mythical new creatures. This workshop is generously supported by Kinetika People and T100. \nThen weather permitting –after lunch – we will move on with the creatures to explore the River Thames near the Mardyke confluence\, and search for the emerging creatures… looking into the past\, experiencing the present and imagining into future: in the next 100\, 1000\, 10\,000\, million years – imagining what hybrid creatures will appear in the post-natural environment of the Thames Delta?  PLEASE BOOK HERE \n \nWith workshop participants and the creative input from the river as it transforms the materials that make up its environment\, we encounter some creatures from the near future emerging from the River Thames. And as we picnic together\, by the river\, we will discuss the Mardyke and the larger Thames rivers – as natural resources\, grappling with all the human waste and pollution thrown their way; to think about how the river digests this waste\, transforms it and is transformed\, in a hybrid cycle of regenerations. \n\n\n\n11am-1.3opm Workshop Making.\nPicnic/lunch break\n2pm- 4.30pm pm walk to Thames/Mardyke confluence with the creatures.\n\n\n\nFor the day of exploration: \nPlease note – you are advised to bring a picnic\, wear suitable clothes\, shoes for weather conditions – some refreshments including water (tea and coffee) will be provided.
