Chalk & Paper Landscapes: Floor Plans In Relief

Chalk & Paper Landscapes: Floor Plans In Relief

Date/Time
Date(s) - 29 November 2025
11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Location: 27 Suez Road, Cambridge CB1 3QD

Overview

Denman & Gould will use architectural floor plans and site maps as a starting point, exploring how buildings, land, and community spaces are built and their relationship to the chalk landscape of Cherry Hinton. They’ll translate these plans into layered paper relief artworks, working in both 2D and 3D to explore depth, form, and texture.

The workshop will focus on textural paper composition and chalk-based painting, inspired by the Cherry Hinton Chalk Pit and architectural floor plans of Fanshawe Road. Using locally sourced chalk and textured papers, participants will be invited to create their own tactile ‘mini-landscapes’ that connect architectural thinking with natural strata and ridge lines.

About the workshop

The workshop will blend architecture, landscape studies, and creative exploration. Participants will leave with a unique relief artwork and a new way of ‘reading’ both buildings and terrain.

No art experience required, just curiosity. All materials provided.
