    • Art from outdoor workshops in the Dunes
    • This is an exhibition of work created in the sand dunes along the Sefton Coast.
    • Drawing, painting, cyanotype and porcelain workshops.
    • Celebrating this incredible coastline and some of the endangered species it supports.

    The National Lottery-funded Back from the Brink project is one of the most ambitious conservation initiatives ever undertaken. Its aim – to save 20 species from extinction and benefit over 200 more through 19 projects that span England; from the tip of Cornwall to Northumberland.
    It’s the first time ever that so many conservation organisations have come together with one focus in mind – to bring back from the brink of extinction some of England’s most threatened species of animal, plant and fungi…And the Sefton Coast is part of this ambitious scheme.
    During the summer, in the dunes along the Sefton Coast, artists Sian Hughes and Sarah Jane Richards led workshops alongside the Gems in the Dunes team, who shared their knowledge and experience. Over 60 people took part in the painting, drawing, cyanotype and porcelain workshops to record and reflect on the endangered species this dune system supports.
    Participants commented:
    ‘I loved everything about it – especially the wonderful flora and exhilarating sea air’.
    They were amazed at the variety of species hidden in the Dunes and were inspired to look more closely at places they would normally walk through but not connect with.
    This excitement and inspiration is reflected in the vibrant artwork they produced.
    Come along to the Opening Event on the 17th October at 2pm to see the work that was created.
    The Exploring the Dunes Exhibition is on in the Atkinson Library, Southport form 17th – 30th October 2019.

    This project is part of the Back from the Brink, a nationwide project saving England’s most endangered species from extinction and funded by the National Lottery Fund For more information visit naturebftb.co.uk
