Join artists Unfinished Business for a week of fun and fermentation at Incredible Edible Knowsley at Court Hey Park from 18 – 22 June.
Commissioned by Heart of Glass, The Instinct Lab explores the connection between our gut, our intuition and instinct, our ancient ancestors (micro-organisms!), the cycle of life and death and how we can make positive decisions for our lives and the life of the world we inhabit.
Together, they invite you to build and contribute to The Home to the Spirit of the Ferment; a new community space to sit, to contemplate and connect with our ancestors, where all the ferments that will be made can transform.
From 18th – 22nd June there’s a jam-packed schedule of activities at Incredible Edible – from fermentation, carpentry and divination, to experimental art workshops.
Drop in every day to be part of building the shed, or book onto one of the free workshops happening in the space.
Staying for the full day? A light lunch will be provided each day, but feel free to bring your own refreshments too.
