Britain's What's On Event Guide
Nature Journaling Day
Due to popular demand, we’re now running a full day of Nature Journaling at Land of Oak & Iron.
Have you wanted to create a nature journal but don’t know where to start or how to do it This workshop will – hopefully – fix that. Artist and designer Steve Pardue will take you through the process in this fun session drawing nature.
Even a place as simple as a garden can provide some really lovely and interesting sightings and the centre here has some lovely nature right on the doorstep. And, it is not just the really spectacular stuff we look for – red kites for instance – but the little things such as beetles and slugs, and there is always a slug lurking somewhere!
As this is a full day workshop – we will have time to go for a walk (weather dependant) and look for things to add to our nature journals. There will also be a lunch break, when you can purchase something tasty from the café or go for another wander in nature.
We will also add colour using the watercolour sets I will bring along for us to share. It is all very simple and enjoyable. Don’t worry if you haven’t drawn before or for a long time – this is about looking at nature and recording it in your own way.
Limited places – booking essential
Ticket price includes tuition, a concertina journal to work with and tea or coffee.
Please note – tickets for our workshops, sessions and courses are non refundable. We may at our discretion transfer you
