Sketch and stroll – masterplanning the docks

Which buildings did they save and why, what was removed, and what happened next. The session will encourage participants to think about they would have planned the area, both in discussion and through sketching.

The session will be interactive with a number of opportunities to draw the docks, and to reflect on the area now and in the past.

Sketchbooks and pens supplied, though participants are welcome to bring their own materials.

Guide: Matt is a local resident and illustrator, who specialises in bright and colourful architectural drawing, focussing on the docks, with a number of public artworks that can be spotted in the docks.
