A map making workshop with graphic designer and illustrator Isabella Mitchell, which places focus on sensory storytelling and revels in the traces of fleeting yet fond holiday memories, with travel-inspired snacks served by creative food & experience designer Salty Studio.

About

To begin the workshop, Isabella will briefly introduce you to the history of map design, with examples of characteristic features and artistic interpretations to inspire your own creation.

Through a series of hands-on, creative exercises, you will be encouraged to recall journeys and visualise destinations. You will learn how to translate your memories into a visual language, through cutting, collaging, mark-making, with the additional option of drawing if you wish. 

You will leave the workshop with your own map, and a unique process which you can use to visually describe geographical locations, as shaped by your own personal experiences.  

All materials are provided for this workshop, which is suitable for all abilities. Children over the age of 14 are welcome if accompanied by a parent. Books and visual references will be provided. Feel free to bring your own inspiring visuals such as photos or sketchbooks if desired.

Food:
During the workshop, Maud from Salty Studio will present 5 different snacks inspired by remote islands around the world and tell a short story about where these come from and their history. 

The following islands will inspire each snack! Here are a couple of ingredients you can expect to see...
Faroe Islands, Denmark: turnips, volcanic charcoal powder, fish & seaweed
Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, Tristan da Cunha: potatoes multiple ways and kale
Island of the Comoros: vanilla, plantains, seafood, coconut milk, lemon grass
Kerguelen Islands, French Southern & Antarctic Lands: crêpes, salted caramel, crème Chantilly
Nunavut islands, Canada: all about berries
