CHILDREN OF NATURE is going on tour... and you are invited to join the circle!

My name is Eve Shepherd, and I am an internationally renowned sculptor responsible for many major public commissions.

My latest project, Children of Nature, is a collaborative piece which is more than just an artwork. It's a community and a growing movement, with the aim to bring people together, reconnect us with nature and heal the deepest parts of ourselves through the magic of mycology.

Self-financed for the last two years, Children of Nature has never received any public funding and as such the costs have grown bigger than I can support alone - which is why I am reaching out to you for help.

I recently toured the artwork to Breaking Convention and Potfest, where it received an incredible response. This experience showed me that now more than ever there is a need for the "sacred space" that Children of Nature creates - a space in which people can be their authentic selves and share their voice.

My aim is to tour the work more widely, to allow as many people as possible to collaborate in the project and awaken to the profound healing powers of fungi, clay and the sacred circle. As such, my overall goal is to raise £20,000.

Every contribution, no matter the size, is a vital step towards the success of Children of Nature, and I would be truly grateful if you could play a part in bringing this project to fruition. In return for your contribution I can offer:

£10 - signed digital image of the artwork

£50 - virtual tour and Q&A with the artist

£250 - as above plus your very own individual 'child of nature' sculpture

£1450 - virtual tour plus your own 'Spores' artwork - you can own a unique version of the Children of Nature circle!

If you would like to receive any of the above in return for your donation, please make sure to leave your email address.

Thank you for your generosity... I am truly excited to share the rewards of this journey with you!
