Song of the Path walkshop
Workshop Leaders: Rosie Montford’s exhibition ‘Song of the Path’ is on at Gallery 44AD. Her practice explores the dialogue between walking and drawing, seeking out landscapes from which she can physically combine disciplines to work across printmaking, drawing and bookmaking. Vicky Hunter is a Visiting Research Fellow in dance and environmental humanities at Bath Spa University and formerly Professor of Site Dance at the University of Chichester.
