Four days on one wall

Workshop notes and coloured markers on a table

This page describes the flagship workshop week so you can judge whether your crew can spare four consecutive weekdays. The commercial booking still sits under Sessions.

Monday — names and owners

We pin a base plan, agree four overlay colours, and write every asset the group can see from memory. Gaps become a walking list for Tuesday if you are on a host site, or a photograph list if you are in the studio with plans you brought.

Tuesday — upstream

Arrows run toward each named object: which tank, which feeder, which gate, which radio repeater. Unnamed parents stay in pencil until someone claims them.

Wednesday — downstream

We reverse the arrows. If the hill pump stops, which ward, mill line, or cattle trough notices first. Downstream is where polite diagrams usually lie.

Thursday — one cut

A quiet tabletop follows a single plausible cut across the finished paper. Phone numbers that belong on the map are written in ink. The photographed wall is emailed before people leave for the bus.
