No take-away menus here!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">So what sort of projects can have the Earthwords treatment?</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana">Interpretation projects for a single site - or an area, interpretation strategies, panels, guidebooks, dictionaries, educational material, editing, lectures, seminars, walks for kids, hands-on events, geodiversity audits, TV and radio, and even advice on film scripts and locations for Hollywood stars!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana">Anything you would like that's not in that list? Give me a call and maybe I can help, or suggest someone else who could.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">Just who - or what - is Earthwords?</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana">Earthwords is John Macadam, plus whoever he needs for a project. Designer, illustrators, photographers, wood carvers, Hi-Ab truck drivers, cartoonists, stone masons, research scientists and hi-tec equipment, museum curators, translators, artists, philosophers, ... </font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#0000FF">The strapline says "innovative interpretation". Just what is "interpretation"?</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana">Good question! Most interpreters reckon that interpretation is much more than providing information about a place, so they will aim to get people mindful of the place. </font></p> <p><font face="Verdana">Why not get in touch if you have a project which you think could do with the Earthwords treatment? I promise you you will not get offered items from a take-away menu (two panels, one resin figure, one interactive ... just like lots of other projects all across Britain .. and the world!). And if you are not sure Earthwords could handle the project - or even be interested! - at least contact me. We might have fun doing something truly <i> innovative</i>!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana">John Macadam is equally happy to be researching for your project in a record centre, an environmental record centre, a museum or a geology lab. So the <i>facts</i> will be correct - and the <i>words</i> will never be dull! That's probably why he's been invited to speak and run workshops around the world. Some words to <i>read</i> in his<i> </i> <a href="portfolio.htm" style="text-decoration: none">portfolio</a><i>, </i>some <i>biography</i> in his <a href="cv.htm">cv</a>, and lots to <i>see</i> for yourself in the <a href="download.htm">download</a> page.</font></p> <p align="left"> </p> <hr> <p align="center"><i><font face="Verdana" size="2">To bookmark this site please click <a href="#.html" onclick="window.external.AddFavorite('http://www.earthwords.co.uk','Earthwords - for innovative interpretation!
