WayFinders: Fanad is an innovative project designed to immerse locals and visitors in a rich creative exploration of the Fanad coastline. Participants engage in the unique creative tools of the WayFinding practice to create communal, story-based art-maps, illustrating walking trails at Doaghbeg and Ballywhoriskey, and sharing local stories.
WayFinders: Fanad consists of five activities - 2 heritage walks and 3 creative workshops - at the end of which we will have created beautiful maps of the walking trails. The walks, led by local heritage guide, Mary Doherty, will be opportunities for participants to contribute stories and photographs to the project. Deborah Templeton's Creative Writing workshop and John Britton's Inkwash Painting workshop will develop artistic content for the maps, and everything will come together in a burst of communal creativity in our final Art-Map workshop. Participants can join in with the whole process or book onto any of the activities individually.
