Brian Swaddling, creator of the film will be running a Land Art Workshop before the screening.
Land art uses found materials from the local landscape to create vibrant and abstract ephemera and patterns which will absorb back into the environment from which they are made.
Nothing is harmed, merely moved around in a peaceful and respectful manner that is calming and engaging.
It is a way of focussing, connecting with the outside world, as well as letting go, as each art work is ultimately left to the elements to play with them as they will.
Dress for the weather and we will explore the area to see what catches our eyes.
