Join Emma, Crucible Studios Artist-in-Residence, for a playful experiment that combines a group walk with a drawing exercise. Emma’s artistic work uses walking as a tool to learn, grow, and observe herself and her new temporary environment here in Ōamaru, and to engage with the community.

Each Walkshop will be approximately 1.5 hours, with half our time walking, talking, sharing, listening, and the other half drawing - give or take.

We'll depart from Tyne Street, weaving and looping around the place!

Basic materials supplied (newsprint and pencils)

The four-week programme is:

Wednesday 23rd September 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm: Walking and Frottage Collecting

Thursday 1st October 8:00 am - 9:30 am: Walking and Re-Tracing

Saturday 10th October 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm: Walking and A Concertina

Sunday 18th October 10:00 am - 11:30 am: Walking and Shadow Drawings

This is an experimental, evolving programme - with a lot, including our routes, to be determined.
