Saturday, March 24th 10:00 am to 12:00 noon Mapping a Sense of Place with Julia Shipley What IS a map? Why would anybody make one? How do you decide what to put on the map and what to leave out? Mapping is a way of showing what matters, of demonstrating ownership, of recording important places with lines, dots and symbols. With your map you can show someone how to get to somewhere or help them recognize a place that’s important. In this workshop, led by Julia Shipley, we’ll get inspiration by examining all kinds of maps. We’ll explore how they reveal information about different places and terrains. Then we’ll try our hand at making memory maps, event maps, and other kinds of maps of the places we know best: our houses, rooms, woods, gardens, trails, neighborhoods, fields, barns, streams.... Materials will be provided.
