The Landscape and Arts Network was launched in 1993 by artist Francis Carr with the aim of bringing together landscape architects, engineers, architects, artists, educationalists and ecologists:  in effect, all those individuals, professional or otherwise, who feel passionate about improving and sustaining the quality of our urban and natural environment.  Through an ongoing programme of seminars, visits, conferences and meetings it helps to broaden the context in which we understand art and landscape and continues to inspire practitioners of all kinds and break professional boundaries. 

As a network one of its founding aims is to encourage collaboration and cross-fertilisation, both in theory and practice.  Creativity is at the heart of its agenda, offering unique opportunities for members to explore and relate to a variety of challenges.


Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust 2008

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of PSQT and various events are planned in celebration LAN members are invited to attend.

Saturday 24th / Sunday 25th / Monday 26th May

This is the traditional LAN stone carving event. Alongside the carving there will be a tour, ‘ Walking through Time,’ (past and present) with a geologist and a biologist. The Isle of Portland is part of the Jurassic Coast, now designated as a World Site of Special Interest.  As a contribution to this special area PSQT is developing an ambitious regeneration plan for part of a large now abandoned quarry adjacent to PSQT’s headquarters. The full scope of this scheme will be explained together with interpretation of the geology of Independent Quarry: evidence of past environments and climate change;  and biology - colonization by culinary and medicinal plants in limestone quarry environments. -- and all are invited to make suggestions, proposals, and Drawings.

Any drawings and sketches you make will be recorded and forwarded to The Big Draw.  

Both Carving Workshop and Walk Through Time are open for all but if you wish to join the carving workshops,  please register & send cheque for full fee or £40 deposit asap

Carving Workshop   2 1/2 days, all-inclusive cost (stone, tools & tuition/tutoring for all, experienced or beginner) Special rate for LAN Members,  £80.   Non-members also welcome the full PSQT rate , £105.
