Thank you volunteers for your hard work! #VolunteersWeek
Thank you to everyone who braved the heat & joined our half-term workshop yesterday to create their very own herbals. It was a lovely to share our rare books, explore the @rcphysicians.bsky.social garden & get creative.
There were some really beautiful books made & interesting recipes created!
We will soon be hosting our summer lectures on Tuesday 23 June - join us to discover the fascinating history of interactive printmaking with two expert speakers Suzanne Karr Schmidt & Katie Birkwood, & create your own interactive volvelle.
