The landscape can speak to us… if only we are willing to listen. This guided workshop will encompass a gentle walk in which participants will be encouraged to observe and absorb their surroundings. Maybe we will hear the starlings click and whistle, smell the sea foam or notice the hue of the castle ruins. We will interact with the landscape through both words (poetry and prose) and drawing and mark-making. Participants will have opportunity to write and draw the landscape and to make the everyday extraordinary, and will leave with a small booklet full of their own creations. Led by writer Mari Ellis Dunning and artist Emily Wilkinson, this project is a collaboration between Aberystwyth School of Art and the Spineless Wonders network.
