Wednesday 26 April
Mudlarking.
Nicola White.
When the tide is out along the banks of the River Thames, there is a myriad of pieces of history waiting to be found along the shoreline. Local artist and mudlark Nicola White searches the Greenwich foreshore for such objects to use in her artwork and also spends time researching the personal stories behind her mudlarking. Nicola will talk about some of her local finds such as small brass luggage label she discovered in the Greenwich mud which brought back to life the fascinating story of a local First World War soldier, Frederick Jury.
