Land-shapes, Sooth-scapes Drawing Workshop with artist Linde Ex, as part of our Deluge project connecting salt marsh locations (Aberlady, Barrow-in-Furness, The Waddensea Netherlands)

Thu 30 January, 10.30am-4pm (Aberlady and Portobello)

About the workshop
What can we discover in the swampy land between the sea and the land? During this artistic walk and drawing workshop, we explore the Aberlady salt marsh landscape with artist Linde Ex (Netherlands). How do we relate to the history of the marsh and the uncertain future due to the changing climate? We will explore local shapes, influences and stories to reacquaint ourselves with the salt marshes.

This one-day workshop starts with a walk from Aberlady Bay Nature Reserve (10.30-12.30) followed by an indoor session at Portobello Baptist Church Hall, 189 Portobello High Street (2-4pm). 

Some light food provided including plant based soup and sea buckthorn tasters.
Please wear walking shoes, and warm clothes/waterproofs.
All drawing tools and paper provided.

Ticket Prices: Suggested donation (£6 per person)
