$70/60 Member
Kit: $20 (you can purchase all items needed or bring your own. See the supply list below)
Bring your love of gardens to a whole new level with a nature journal. At this in-person workshop you'll learn how to establish (or enhance) your nature journaling practice in the beautiful environment of the UC Botanical Garden. No experience necessary.
The focus is on experiencing and visually expressing our curiosity about plants and nature, not about making detailed botanical or wildlife art. In this practice, “art” is the experience you have while you’re doing it.
After a brief orientation and warm-up learning activities you will have hands-on observation and drawing time in the Garden. Using words, pictures, and numbers you will capture the forms, shapes, and textures of the plants of your choice. You will practice foundational techniques such as basic drawing, annotation, and a variety of observations that prompt both deeper questions and a deeper connections to the plants. Kate will be available for questions and individual instruction during the Garden journaling time. The group will reconvene toward the close of the workshop to talk about our experiences and learn from each other.
