Mapping Your World Workshop

Mapping Your World Workshop

Saturday 16th November

10:30am-4pm

Create your own map and turn it into a pop up book.

In this one day workshop Inksmith and mapmaker Chrissie Nicholls, Inkpot & Pen, will take you through the
journey of making your own unique map.

This workshop is about the art of telling a story in a map; recording an area, a memory, or a made
up location. Using traditional and new mapping techniques and elements you will bring together
your thoughts to create a very personal piece of work.

The workshop begins with a discussion about maps and their importance to us in our everyday
lives. You will design and draw your map working towards a finished piece, when at the end of the
workshop you’ll use a traditional fold to transform your flat map into a pop up one and bind it into
a cover.

The day is full of instruction and information as you journey with your map. You’ll be able to bring
together drawing, lettering and collage techniques with support, guidance and humour throughout
the workshop.

You don’t need to be confident with your drawing or lettering, all that’s needed just an open mind
to be curious.

All materials for the workshop are supplied but you are encouraged to bring your own colour
pencils, watercolours or pens to the workshop. And if you have your own a bone folder bring that
too. (Don’t worry if you don’t know what a bone folder is, you will by the end of the workshop!)

You will also be contacted a fortnight before the workshop with information about what to bring
with you as reference on the day.

We have fun in these classes and discussion is encouraged at points through the workshop so we
can learn and be inspired by each other.
