About this Event
Join artist Dawline-Jane Oni-Eseleh for an engaging exploration of creative ways to visually document our daily surroundings. We will stroll through Live Oak Park, where you can see a variety of California native plants that have historically been used for food, shelter, and medicinal purposes. After our walk, we will take some time to draw what we observe and share our personal perspectives. Participants will also have the exciting opportunity to experiment with handmade inks crafted from foraged materials!
All ages and abilities welcome. Please dress for walking and the weather.
