| The Bartholomew Archive at the National Library of Scotland |
Two lucky creatives
- award winning writer Tom Pow and artist Diane Garrick took up the posts from
February to end April this year. Using
material from the Bartholomew
Archive they explored the maps, created interesting works and ran some stimulating
workshops.
A full and
fascinating weekly report can be found on Diane’s blog. She writes so easily and personally about the
maps, people, places and ideas and fun they both had. Many photos illustrate their inspiration,
creations and experiences. Start at week
1, work your way through and be delighted as you read about their map related
creative ideas. Please leave your
feedback and comments on the post.
