Mudlarking is the act of looking for discarded remnants along creeks and riverbanks during low tide. In this workshop, former Glen Foerd Artist in Residence Cory Kram will lead participants to the Poquessing Creek (a former dumping ground in the early 1900s) for a treasure hunt! 

Antique bottles, ceramic shards, buttons, marbles, and bottle-stoppers are just some of the many objects that visitors may find in the creek. Participants will collect these objects, wash them, and take them home as souvenirs. A corresponding creek clean-up will occur during the mudlarking. Let’s see what we can find! 

Participants should dress in warm clothes and wear study shoes/boots. Note that the ground will be relatively solid due to the cold, but feel free to bring a backup pair of shoes to change into. Gloves, trash grabbers, and bags will be provided.
