Spring Nature Journalling Course – Event Details

Overview:

During this nature journalling course, you will be expertly guided through all aspects of creative nature journalling. In addition. you will have the opportunity to undertake a nature walk within the surrounding area of outstanding natural beauty.

Due to the guided practice and practical demonstrations offered throughout the course, it is suitable for all ability levels. Please note that attendees are limited to 8 people to ensure that everyone can receive the help and support that they require.

The course will be led by Sharon Brookes who is a practising artist and fully qualified art teacher with nearly 30 years’ experience of teaching.

The Course Timings:
