Artist Sylak Ravenspine invites you to take part in sphere making workshops at locations in Basildon, and at Canvey Island, where Pocket Worlds will join Estuary 2025 Commissioned artists YoHa during their Sleeping with the Dead event at Willows Cemetery.
The culmination of the Pocket Worlds project will take the form of a fully illustrated report in the manner of a printed booklet titled Pocket Worlds: 100 Handmade Spheres to be published later in the year.
Pocket Worlds explores the variety of colours and textures comprising of different soil types currently being unearthed during an extensive field study of Essex. The work involves visiting over a hundred different sites within the 12 districts and 2 unitary boroughs, and taking samples from a number of locations at each, in order to build up a visual record of the complex interplay between natural geology and the human impact on the land over time.
When: Saturday 28th June 2025 to Sunday 29th June 2025, 2-4pm
Where: A field next to Willow Cemetery, Northwick Road, Canvey Island, SS8 0PT
