Join us for a walk out into the forest, meet the trees, and draw from life in a bucolic woodland area. With drawing exercises led by George Elizabeth to open up our creative channels and using different drawing techniques, we will explore a creative practice with the trees; not just as our subject, but also our source of inspiration and guides.

George is a graduate in Art History and is also a printmaker and artist. She connects deeply with her familiar landscape, exploring what it means to create art rooted in place. Through exploring different ways of drawing and ‘seeing’, she also questions what it means to observe the world around us. Can we observe through more than just seeing, and how does this translate into creation and art making?

Some basic materials will be provided, including charcoal and paper. However, materials are limited so please bring your own if you have them. Likewise if you feel like bringing your favorite materials to work with that is also invited and encouraged!

Note that it would also be handy to bring something to lean on - this could be a sketchbook, clipboard or whatever you can find. We will be standing up and working outside so please bear this in mind.

Sliding Scale: $15-35, pay what you are able

We will meet at the Sister Divine’s farmstand to collect our group and begin our walk.
