Drawing on nature
Reserve a spotObserving the natural world around us, in this workshop by Jana Emburey, we will pay attention to small fragments of our woodland and gain a better understanding and appreciation through drawing.
Take a walk through Anagach woods, guided by Jana, exploring, taking photographs, sketching and collecting natural materials. In the event of bad weather, the workshop will take place entirely within the hall with materials provided by the artist. Attendees are also invited to bring natural materials along.
The workshop is about enjoyment and trying your hand at something new. Everyone is welcome, no matter your age or ability.

- Light refreshments (tea, coffee, water, juice, biscuits) will be provided at the hall.
