Katie Paterson in collaboration with Zeller & Moye has gathered 10,000 tree species spanning time and space for Hollow. A new public artwork for Bristol, commissioned by the University of Bristol and produced by Situations. From 9 May 2016 step inside a structure that is made of thousands of unique samples of tree species, sourced from every country across the world, from fossilized trees from the earliest forests that emerged over 390 million years ago to the most recent emergent species. Within Hollow you will discover the story of the planet. Renowned for her exploration of the cosmos and geological time, artist Katie Paterson has amassed a collection of 10,000 tree species to form a new artwork for Bristol. The samples of wood span time and space and have been sourced from across the globe. From the oldest tree in the world to some of the youngest and near-extinct species, the tree samples contain within them stories of the planet’s history and evolution through time. Hollow opens to mark the opening of the University of Bristol’s new Life Sciences building. As part of the unveiling of Hollow, join the artist and architects in conversation with Dr Jon Bridle from the University of Bristol's Life Sciences department. Monday 9 May, 6.15pm see www.situations.org.uk for booking details.

Wing Foiling Flights (3 Hours) @ Cheddar Watersports It's time to fly. This lesson is aimed at those who have previous experience handling the wing and are ready to progress on to the foil, or those who have a good level of foiling experience in another watersport such as kite foiling, windsurf foiling or surf/sup foiling. This session is a 3 hour intensive session (max 4 students per instructor - 2 student per board) focused on transitioning from a regular board without hydrofoil to a foiling setup. During this session you will gain the necessary skills to experience your first glides under wing power! This session will introduce you to hydrofoils, how they work and how to use them. In addition we will cover practical guidance on those tricky questions that seem so hard to answer for first time foilers like; kit setup, how to get upwind and what happens if I need to turn around and get back home. The RYA recommends 8-10 hours of instruction for your first flights, so you may want to join one of our progression clinics. Important note before you book: We will only run the Wing foiling lesson if there is enough wind to foil, so you book a lesson then we scour the forecast, days in advance to make sure it will be windy enough. If the conditions don't look good we will let you know a two or three days beforehand and try to reschedule your session. Or you can select another date (from our list of published dates on eventbrite). So if you book for a Saturday please try to keep the Sunday free, as we may reschedule the session for the following day if the conditions on Saturday do not look good. We may also alter the start time of the session on the day to match the weather / wind conditions. We will let you know if this is the case. Communication: We will send you updates via Eventbrite emails so it is important you give us an email you use daily. Don't miss out on this opportunity to try something new and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Bristol Corinthian Yacht Club. See you there!
