Join Susan Spellman for an interactive workshop on drawing from nature!

These days it is so easy to be overwhelmed by our devices and obligations that we sometimes miss the joy our natural surroundings can give us. Drawing is a powerful tool for quiet reflection, insight, and imagination. To look at and closely observe a shell, a leaf, or a feather by drawing it, can reveal an entirely new way of seeing. Come play with us as we draw directly from small objects from nature in front of us. Various papers, drawing tools, and natural objects will be provided. All levels of skill are welcome.
