Nature Journalling @ Sheffield Botanical Gardens

You will be introduced to the practice of nature journalling through Jenny’s ‘#52WeeksofNature’ project.

This is a sketchbook journal in which she records nature that she has noticed on weekly walks. You can see examples of Jenny’s work here: https://www.instagram.com/jenny.coats.created/

You will then explore the gardens allowing yourself to notice and tune in with nature, plants and animals whilst also collecting photos and possibly small sketches. Then, returning to the classroom, you’ll receive your own sketchbook to keep and begin to plan out your first journal page.

You will learn simple drawing and painting techniques as well as how to use online resources to support you to identify and learn about the subjects you are recording.

What’s included:

• All materials and tools
• Your own sketchbook to keep
• Tea, coffee & biscuits throughout the day
• An invitation to begin a regular practice in a supportive group
• A calm, inspiring space to explore traditional techniques
• No experience needed – complete beginners welcome

This workshop is perfect for anyone interested in nature, taking time out to slow down whilst developing a regular creative practice.
