The day will include time for immersion in the wilds and ecology of the Smethwick canal network through image making, text, gesture and sound that explores the reciprocal relationship artists can have with the waterways and the potentials it holds for artists. You are invited to bring a work in progress or a resource you want to contribute to the session.
