Garden Visitors in your Nature Journal with Bethan Burton

Описание: Join artist, gardener, and environmental educator Bethan Burton @journalingwithnature for an inspiring class all about sketching your garden. A garden is a haven for us as well as a gathering place for wild visitors. In this workshop, we will explore how to observe and document the creatures who pass through or make their homes in our cultivated spaces. From pollinators to predators, these garden guests are fascinating and worthy of our attention. We will explore ways to capture them in our garden journals, even when they don’t sit still for long!

All ages and levels welcome!
