Join artist Michelle Antonisse every Wednesday from September 2 through September 23 for a nature journaling series that invites you to connect with the natural world.
Space is limited. Registration will open for members on August 5 and for non-members on August 10.
Through sketching, shading, gestural drawing, descriptive techniques, color theory, and composition, participants will explore creative practices that deepen their relationship with the gardens around them.
Each session combines conversation, play, mindfulness, and observation to help develop a personal journaling practice inspired by the natural world.
Price includes all four sessions, pastels, and a sketchbook.
4 weeks (4 classes): $150 members | $165 non-members
Participants will meet in Gathering Room A before traveling into the garden for each session’s activities.
