Wainwright: Creative Mapping Workshop with Jessica Emsley
Join artist, Jessica Emsley for a walking art workshop. Together, we’ll explore the creative possibilities of mapping a walk, creating our own subjective maps through sketching and writing whilst on foot and developing these on our return to the Armitt. Inspired by Wainwright’s meticulous recording of his Lakeland walks, we’ll create both a shared record
• Park to Park Sunday walk – Tooting & Streatham Commons And Norbury Park
South of the River Thames the buildings are dense, and green spaces are in short supply. All the same, great rhomboids of park land dot the landscape on what was common land. At the time of the mid 1800’s expansion of London, local people campaigned and paid for the land to be set aside, and

Over twelve months I walked from my home in Wolverhampton, and around Britain. I travelled the length and breadth of Britain on foot and connected its major and minor towns and cities through walking. These long distance walks were interspersed with partnered walks with other walking artists along the way. By travelling through the landscape at this speed I was able to observe and record personal and collective memories of Britain, whilst also considering what is the shape of Britain as we enter into post-pandemic living.
‘A Place to Return to’ is a continuation of my mapping Britain project where I plan to travel every square of the Ordnance Survey maps of Britain and take one analogue photograph.
