Ebb & Flow

Ebb and flow is a short reflection about the inspirational power of rivers.

Join Claire Mellett, Geoarchaeologist and James Aldridge, Artist, as they meet for the very first time to take a walk along the River Avon through Salisbury, appreciating the impact the river has on their work and their wellbeing and how rivers define, respond and react to their ever changing environment.
