The Bird Watching Bath is a place-based public  intervention for Stave Hill Ecological Park in  Rotherhithe. The project utilised on-site materials  and a combination of traditional British craft  influences, in an attempt to increase by-passer  engagement with the natural environment.



 The installation proposes to improve the local  habitat for birds, acting as a necessary water  source for drinking and bathing. Situated in a  gated-off meadow, the installation encourages  visitors to pause and engage with their  surroundings. The project explored mindful making  and outdoor crafts by repurposing harvested willow  tree branches, proce ssing wild clay and using only  hand tools for the making.
