Once isolated by flooding, Pullough later became a centre for brick making and peat production, and is now shaped by environmental renewal, including bog rewetting and greenway development. This project will capture these changes within living memory through visual art. Led by artists, Esther Lambe and Rosemarie Langtry, residents will reflect on local architecture, lived experience and the forces of labour, water and change that have shaped the area. &nbsp;The programme includes workshops in painting and stained glass, combining creative practice with research and discussion. A Plein Air painting event will invite wider community and visiting artists to engage with the landscape.
