Draw Together in the Wild Art Garden

A relaxed workshop with artist-explorer Karen Howse using drawing as a tool for discovery. Use graphite sticks, charcoal and other drawing materials to experiment with mark making and observing the natural forms of plants, trees and stones found around the Gallery’s wild art garden.

We will be making a collaborative drawing, with time to make your own folded zine to take home filled with your drawings of plants, beings and imaginings. Karen will use her drawing cards to ease you into drawing and exercise your drawing muscles.

Beginners especially welcome. Suitable for ages 7 (to 99!), younger ones are welcome too.
All materials provided, feel free to bring your fave pencils/pens. Dress for the weather. Refreshments and mats/cushions provided.

This workshop is funded through the Blackdown Hills National Landscape – Festival of Heritage where a range of events are taking place across the region. Pop along for a tour of Dunkeswell Abbey after coming to this workshop. Find out more.
