SUMMARY:Seaweed Pressing Workshop SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT \nThe Seaweed Institute invites you to join them to learn the craft of seaweed pressing – a Victorian practice that captures the underwater beauty of seaweeds. This pressing workshop is particularly special as they are hosting it in collaboration with The Morrab Library. \nFrom The Morrab you will walk together to the foreshore of Mounts Bay to search for seaweeds to press. Whilst on the beach you will learn about sustainable harvesting\, tides and edible species will be pointed out to you. \nBack at the library you will have the chance to view some beautiful examples of historic seaweed pressings. The library’s archive is home to incredible bound examples of original pressings collected in Mounts Bay. \nThe cultural history of seaweeds will be discussed and you will learn how to forage\, store and use this abundant resource. \nWith inspiration from the archives you will start the pressing process . After laying out your designs they will be loaded into the seaweed press where they will dry over the next weeks. The Institute will send your pieces to you via the post when they are ready. \nThe cost is £40. \nThe library is not taking bookings. You can book here via Eventbrite\, or contact the Seaweed Institute.

SUMMARY:Creative Writing Workshop for 12-16 year olds | Ghost Story Writing with Bridget Crowley
DESCRIPTION:The Morrab Library doesn’t have a ghost\, but what if it did? \nIn this creative writing workshop\, we will use the wonderful old house\, The Morrab Library\, and some of the treasures within\, as the starting point for writing our very own ghost stories. \nBridget Crowley is the author of five children’s books\, three of which feature ghosts. In this workshop for 12-16 year olds\, Bridget will share some tips for writing a story that thrills and chills\, builds suspense and draws from real places and history to create the setting and character or a compelling plot. Bridget’s latest book ‘Wake Up Mr Kean’ is set in The Old Theatre in Penzance and her ghost is famous actor Edmund Kean who really performed there in the early 19th Century. \nThe workshop will take place in the Reading Room. Booking is essential. All materials and refreshments will be provided. \nEntry is free but donations are welcome to support The Morrab Library (suggested £5). Booking is essential – email enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or call 01736 364474 to book a place.

SUMMARY:Bee Day at The Morrab Library
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 28th August\, we will be celebrating all things bees with the West Penwith Embroidered Bees Project and a talk from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.  \n   \nThe West Penwith Embroidered Bee Project aims to raise awareness of the 270 different species of bee that live in Britain\, and their varied needs\, while also teaching embroidery skills\, fostering connection and raising money for wildflower projects. Find out more about the project over on our blog.  \nOn Wednesday 28th August\, 10am – 12pm\, the founder of the project Vicks Harrison will be leading a free embroidery workshop to learn how to make a bee to be stitched into a big art quilt. \nNo experience is necessary and attendees do not need to bring any fabric\, thread or equipment\, but any donations of material to contribute to the piece are always welcomed. Booking is essential and please email Vicks (vickyvicks@btinternet.com) to do so. \nThe quilt\, in its present but ever-growing form\, will also be on display in the Natural Sciences Room for the duration of the day. It will hang alongside a display of books about bees (which Library members can borrow on the day) as well as poems about bees written by Vivienne Tregenza. Pop in anytime between 10am – 3.30pm to see the display. \nIn the afternoon\, Pip Cook from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust will be giving a talk about Bumblebees in Cornwall.

SUMMARY:Library Talks | Bumblebees in Cornwall
DESCRIPTION:Our second talk this month will be from Pip Cook\, Bumblebee Conservation Trust’s SW Project Officer\, for an introduction to the bumblebees we can find in Cornwall. The talk will be taking place in the Reading Room at 2pm on Wednesday 28th August and will be part of a celebration of bees at the Library taking place throughout that day (find out more in this blog post). In Pip’s role\, she is particularly focusing on the Moss carder bumblebee (Bombus muscorum)\, one of the rarest and most threatened bumblebee species in the UK. It is a beautiful ginger-tailed bumblebee with a short velvety coat that was once widespread in the UK and is now found mostly in small\, fragmented populations. The project involves collecting data on the Moss carder’s abundance and distribution at two key sites on Cornwall’s north coast\, Penhale and Gwithian and Upton Towans and finding out more about its habitat needs. Bumblebee Conservation Trust hope this information will inform our conservation practices and hopefully help to reverse the Moss carder bumblebee’s decline. Tickets are allocated by a ballot system. Please email enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or call 01736 364474 to be entered into the ballot for a ticket. The ballot closes on Monday 19th August. Entry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support The Morrab Library (suggested £5). Refreshments will be provided after the talk. (Bumblebee photo credit Nick Withers)
