Start in the gallery then walk and draw your way towards the sea, following a series of prompts.
This walk.draw event is led by artist and tutor, Ruth Broadbent. It is open to both beginners and those more experienced and is aimed at ages 18+ (under 18s must be accompanied by an adult).
This walkshop will draw on memories to inspire the route of the walk. Ruth’s family lived in Folkestone so she has many memories of visiting for family holidays, and later on, doing some occasional teaching as a visiting lecturer in the area. She has not visited Folkestone for some years and will not have seen the area we are walking as it is now, so will be using past memories and google maps to plan the route. This will no doubt add unexpected elements and possibly some detours. Will we or won’t we reach the sea?
We’ll take an experimental approach to drawing, following a series of exercises and responding to serendipitous encounters along the way.
