**A Wild World Underneath Your Feet: Estuary Walking Workshop -** 2nd May 2026
A family walking and drawing workshop led by artist Tom Kaniok, exploring the hidden ecology of the estuary at low tide.
Together we’ll discover crabs, shrimp, ragworms, molluscs and seaweeds beneath our feet, then pause to sketch what we find in our books. If the weather allows, we’ll finish with a relaxed picnic by the shore.

*The Tree That Grew Arms*: Grafting Workshop - 4th April 2026
A hands-on workshop led by artist Tom Kaniok combining apple tree grafting with imaginative drawing. Grafting is the practice of joining a branch from one tree root system to another to grow as one. Rooted in orchard culture, rewilding, and local place-names around Kingsbridge, the session explores care, enchantment, and climate resilience.

Participants will graft a heritage apple tree to take home and create charcoal drawings inspired by Grimm fairy tales and human–plant forms at Harbour House.

Tom Kaniok: Mud Makes the Revivalists | Harbour House

**Mud Makes The Revivalists** (January - July 2026) is a visual art project encompassing research, poetry, the creation of new drawings and paintings, a solo exhibition, and four public workshops. The project explores ecology, climate change, animism, memory, and belonging to nature—positioning the landscape as having a sense of agency, and bewitching us into acts of repair. Through drawing and painting, it investigates the nature we are drawn to, and why.

This project is kindly supported through an Arts Council England National Lottery Project Grant, a commission from Harbour House Art and Wellbeing Centre, and an Artist Grant from The Oppenheim–John Downes Memorial Trust.

Thunderclap (A Walk To Lowland Point)

Single channel animation, 2023

I made this short animation for my solo exhibition The Shipping Forecast at the Museum of Cornish Life in Helston 2023. The film comprises of over 4000 drawings animating the sounds recorded of weather systems, ecology, and the built environment across the Lizard.

Supported by Arts Council England, and Creative Kernow.

Join us for the opening of *The Shipping Forecast* at the Museum of Cornish Life, Helston - an exhibition of new paintings, drawings, and animation by Tom Kaniok.
This new body of work reflects on how many of Cornwall's archaeological finds get discovered through the artist's daily ritual of walking to Lowland Point, situated two miles from his home on the Lizard peninsula, providing the starting point for discovering a small but wonderful part of the story of the landscape.
Within the many intricacies of this site and its wildlife, Tom Kaniok depicts the wondrous encounters with remnants of the SS Ocklinge, an Iron ore tanker wrecked at Lowland Point in 1932, playing with alternative narratives while reflecting on our current relationship with the natural world.
Tom will be giving a short artist talk and formally opening the exhibition on 27th May from 4-6pm.
Free, all welcome.
