Chalk Landscapes

Join us for a playful, hands-on exploration of the chalk landscapes of Cherry Hinton.

Together we’ll delve into the geological story of chalk - how it formed, its unique properties, and what it looks like under a microscope. We’ll explore deep time, the composition of chalk, and the hidden layers beneath our feet in this remarkable local landscape.

Using chalk sourced from the area, we’ll experiment with making paints, forms, and small sculptures as we uncover the world beneath us.
