visit to the Park to listen to brass band and Stroud choirs. Visited SITE art exhibition and the Museum in the Park to research lawn mowers. The first lawn mower was invented in Stroud by Edwin Budding; an offshoot of the machinery used in the wool industry. I am hoping to make a drawing machine very roughly based on a lawn mower for a participatory drawing workshop at teh festival of nature. I’m aware of the (not very positive) links between lawn mowers and biodiversity but not yet sure if this will be the focus for the workshop.
