A chance to explore, study and draw specimens from the IW Natural History & Archaeological Society’s pop-up museum with artist Ian Whitmore in this relaxed drawing workshop as part of the Quay Arts Summer School Programme.

From bones to beetles by way of feathers and fossils, you’ll learn through handling, observing and drawing a cornucopia of fascinating Natural History specimens, trying out a range of mark making materials. The workshop is suitable for anyone interested in art and nature, from beginners to those with more experience. Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring along favourite kit.

We regret that the walk planned for Saturday July 22nd has been cancelled due to ill-health.

Sunday 2nd July saw the gathering of folks from across the Island with an interest in species recording and identification for an afternoon of fieldwork and workshop sessions to explore and examine the diverse and surprising flora and fauna of The Bay at the first IWNHAS Summer Recorders Event.

With Dinosaur Isle as our base, we set off on three different fieldwork sessions to collect grasses, sedges & rushes with Colin Pope, Insects with Ian Boyd and check the overnight moth trap with Iain Outlaw. (more…)

Just a few days left until the very first IW Summer Recorders Event takes place at Dinosaur Isle, Sandown on Sunday 2nd July 2pm – 5pm, so please register and book your place asap.

This is a great opportunity to brush up your species identification skills as we explore the surrounding habitats to collect specimens and return to Dinosaur Isle to examine and identify them. (more…)
