Walk Description:

Inspired by Andy Goldsworthy our December photography walk will be in Sherrardspark Wood. Andy Goldsworthy's art is ephemeral by design, made to be blow away or to decay, so he uses photography to capture his art before it disappears - and that will be our focus. Have a look online to see more examples of his work. 

 We’re starting our photography walk a little later than usual to give everyone who’d like to the opportunity to join us for a coffee afterwards. It’ll be a lovely chance to chat about our morning, share our experiences and look at the images we’ve captured along the way.
