November 23 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
$30 – $35
Join us for Intro to Nature Journaling with artist and educator Michelle Antonisse on Saturday, November 23 from 1–3pm.
Learn how scientists and artists have used illustrative and descriptive journaling to explore the natural world. We will start with the history, uses, and many styles of this method.
Then, we will venture outside for a guided journaling session where we will deepen our relationship to plants in the garden through conversation, reflection, sketching, and writing.
Suggested list of supplies will be provided with the confirmation email.
$30 members, $35 non-members. Advance registration required, register here.
