What's Happening?

Nature Journaling workshops

LAST CHANCE -18th April - EcoFest West

I am running a series of 4 workshops on Auckland's North Shore and West Auckland as part of EcoFest 2021 and would love you to join me!

Nature journaling is sketching or writing your response to nature. This fun and relaxing practice helps you connect more closely with plants, trees, birds and other natural things and results in creating your own unique nature journal. Once you start properly looking you'll be hooked.
Ideal for all ages, and all drawing abilities.

Start your own journal with me and soon you will be looking at nature very differently.

Once you start you may not want to stop!

Suitable for ages 5 to adult, no experience or drawing ability required, just an ability to look!

Children under 12 to be accompanied by a participating adult please.

Booking essential. more..........
