A Processing Medium: Humans Imitating Bacteria Workshops

Bootle and Granby residents, join us for family friendly workshops in your local area, running from 14th July 2021 with Rule of Threes and artist Sean Roy Parker. Together you'll learn about how to save food from waste, use all parts of vegetables and preserve surplus food - with jars of pickles and salsa to take home and enjoy!

You can choose to come along to just one session or join us for multiple! Find out more about the different workshops and how to get involved below
