In this workshop, we'll enjoy experimenting with playful sketching and grounding activities to focus on the process of artmaking over any outcomes. You'll learn a range of techniques to observe and draw plants and wildlife in the abundant surroundings at Bridge Farm.

No previous experience is necessary, just bring yourself and an open mind. All the activities offered will be fun and accessible for all levels and abilities. We will be walking around the site, so please do get in touch if you have any mobility issues. Art materials will be provided (paper and drawing materials) but you’re also welcome to bring your own supplies if you’d like to, such as a favourite sketchbook, pens, pencils or colours.
