Lines of the Land

Saturday 6th June 2026, 10am - 4pm

A full day of creative exploration connecting art and landscape. Guided by artist Maria Merridan, discover how gesture, movement and mark-making can express the character of place. Working outdoors with both natural and traditional art materials, participants will begin a concertina sketchbook that can be extended after the workshop — a continuing record of the land and your creative response to it. Open to beginners and experienced artists alike with an open mind for experimentation.

Practical details: We will walk up to 3km over uneven ground and spend much of the day outdoors, with some shelter provided. Participants are encouraged to bring a portable seat and any favourite drawing materials in addition to those supplied. Please dress for the weather and bring layers and sturdy footwear.
