Outdoor Nature Journaling (4 weeks)

Tuesdays, May 5-26 12:00-1:30 p.m.

Various Locations (listed below)

Madison, WI

Drop in and sketch with us! We'll use our journals to connect with plants, animals, landscape, and ourselves. Whether you already have a journaling practice or are starting fresh, giving yourself a regular time to meet up with a group will support this healthy habit.
I'll open the session with a couple of pointers for your "artist toolkit" for those who are interested. We then draw independently and come together at the end for sharing (if you'd like) and a short poem or reading to close.
