For both clubs we will be meeting as usual at Timespan and then will be heading over to the gardens, pick up will also be at back at Timespan at usual times.

In Little YASS club this week, we will be continuing our investigations into the water and the moon. Using natural dyes we will be experimenting to create interpretations of changing weather patterns centering in on one place over the course of a year .

YASS! Club

Focusing in on the stories of young people in different places and their resistance to the climate crisis, we will be making individual and collaborative moon, water and weather maps of each of the places they live in, over the course of a year. These maps will be connected together and include a map of the weather here in Helmsdale.

In the little YASS! club this week, we will be working in collaboration with water and the moon, to look at how weather patterns in different places change over the course of a year.

YASS! Club

In previous weeks, we created links between our memories and experiences of weather. This week we will be focusing on stories from young people from different places all around the world and their experiences of, and resistance to, the climate crisis. From community organising, to speaking out, to protest, we will be thinking about building connections between our different and similar experiences.

Little YASS:
This week, we’ll cover the floor of the workshop with drawings of countries to play games with lots of moving.
This way we can begin to understand the different environmental conditions that can happen between places that are often taught as being similar or very close together.

Big YASS:
A workshop focusing on the sharing of our multiple stories that intimately connect us to one another, wherever we exist in the world. Whilst making sketchbooks and recycled covers to document our and others’ experiences, thoughts, questions, lived environments and alternative imaginations.

This week, YASS! Club is all about the weather, and how it can change the way we act, think and feel. We’ll be drawing, moving around and talking about the sun, rain and everything in between and beyond.

Halloween special – masks, costumes and decorations!

The first week of YASS club is dedicated to plant-bombing Timespan and eventually turning it into a botanical garden! There’s a whole pile of seeds and cuttings to pot and grow all around Timespan, which will be released around the village later this year. Come along, plant some greens and customise your own plant pots so you can see how much they grow over the next few months.
