Sketches and Snapshots: A Long-Distance Hike as a Creative Act

Join visual artist and LASH'er Mark “Sketch” Wurman (author of A Sketch and a Prayer), Photographer, documentarian, and NOBO 2024 thru hiker Laura “Half Pint” Partain for an inspiring conversation centered at the intersection of long-distance hiking and art making. Learn from an artist with a sketchbook and a photographer with a camera as they discuss the power of incorporating creative practices into a long hike, and why the extra pack weight (yes, even for a thru hike) might make your long journey an especially meaningful one.
