Join local artists Maxine Newell and Sylak Ravenspine to assist you in connection with the textural nature of our environment. Our event draws us all to engage through touch as much as through sight, and making physical contact with the fabric of the land creates deeper bonds with the landscape. Enjoy bookbinding with recycled items, making impression clay for printmaking and a print-gathering walk around the Plotlands area of the park.

Then we will venture around the market and to document our perceptions. The session will conclude with sharing how our investigations went and combining our findings onto a smell map of the market.
Basildon: Art & Public Space
Saturday 30th May
11am onwards
Location: Basildon Town Centre
Lead by Tony Marriage and Paul Rix Clancy

This workshop explores emotional geography, the idea that people experience places through memory, identity and personal stories. Participants will contribute to a collaborative artwork that maps how Basildon’s public spaces are experienced by those who live, work and spend time in the town. By collecting reflections, stories and photographs connected to Basildon town centre and Gloucester Park, the project creates an evolving portrait of the town through the voices of its community.
