On Thursday June 2^nd 2011, the second one-day workshop took place at the Limfjordscentret as part of the third Doverodde Book Arts Festival 2011. The day began with a guided walk on nearby Ydby Heath led by experienced nature guide Søren Kiel. On location he showed the group the local fauna and wild life present on this mild day.
