Making potions in the mountains
Villa Lena Artist residency
Tuscany, Italy
2022
After my 2020 artist residency at Camden Art Centre where I developed a series of instructional online pieces based on botanicals, family gatherings and magic, I had the chance to try one of the activities IRL whilst on residency in Villa Lena, Tuscany during the summer.
Children were invited to talk and think about magic, witches, wishes and potions. We foraged some edible flowers and learnt how to sugar coat them to make special magical potions using fruit juices, cordials and our crystalised petals. We ended each workshop drinking our potions, of course!
