*FIVE PLACES REMAINING*
With Jim Stanes
Create maps using the Middle Ages as our inspiration. Maps in those days were not so much geographical but as a means of showing a particular journey, for example how to get from A to B. For our maps I would like you to think of a memorable journey; this could be from your house to the nearest town, or something more adventurous, such as a trip to the far reaches of this island of Britain. We do not have to be literal or exact. Important things are made big and less important things become smaller. Our map may not be immediately recognisable, but it will be completely understandable.
Jim is well known for his beautiful cartography, art and design work in the film industry.
