Concrete imaginings is an Inspiral meander walk through the edgelands of London to the industrial heritage of the widening Thames, through the edge of the marshes with drawing. Led by Birgitta Hosea and Sarah Sparkes. PLEASE BOOK HERE
Engaging all the senses and using drawing and writing, we will record thoughts, sounds, lines, shapes and smells along the way. We will end up at the WW2 concrete barges on Frog Island where we will assemble all notes and sketches made on the walk into concrete visual poems. No previous experience of drawing or creative writing required. All materials will be provided.
Access: This is a shortish walk over easy terrain and we will be stopping regularly. There are some steps to navigate with ramps as an alternative to these.
To support this rich and engaging walk which includes drawing materials we ask you to donate between £7.50-12.50. But please choose what you feel you can afford when booking.
