CKA Mixer: Walk, Talk, Draw / Kerdh, Keskows, Delin - Bronze Age Bodmin Moor / Goon Brenn | Robin Paris

Walk, talk, and draw in a fabulous moorland Bronze Age roundhouse settlement and around cairns. Be inspired by stone, skylarks, pignuts, and stunning views to Roughtor, Brown Willy / Bronn Wennili, the De Lank valley and Camel estuary, and ponder the lives of our ancestors who lived here three thousand years ago. Boldly draw the changing shapes and views into folded booklets, developing them into semi-abstract black and white artworks. All materials supplied.

(Approx 2 hour duration)
