About this Event
Norsey Wood is considered a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), and a Local Nature Reserve. As a group we will walk through this space acknowledging the deep time the wood holds from prehistoric, medieval to modern era histories, sharing archival imagery where relevant.
The workshop will focus on using viewfinders, analogue (disposable) cameras to capture the contours and natural habitat of the woods today, alongside undertaking rubbings of surfaces.
As an optional follow up session, individuals will be able to join Shaun to learn how to combine these photographs and rubbings through scans and transparency layering, to bring these visuals together.
🎟 Tickets are free, walkups welcome but booking recommended

About Ricay Zine
Through this workshop, you will contribute to Ricay Zine - a community led publication collecting the stories, images, memories and imaginations of people who work, live or spend time in Billericay. Rather than one official history, Ricay Zine invites many perspectives - lifelong residents to newcomers, children to older generations - to build a collective portrait of the town in 2026.
