Part of Nature: Sensory Drawing Workshop

  • Free
  • Workshop

Explore drawing as a way to slow down and notice the natural world more closely.

Guided by Craig Burgess from Draw Plants Together, you will experiment with simple drawing activities that engage the senses and encourage careful looking. Take the time to tune into the natural environment and observe plants, movements, light and sounds in the parkland surrounding MPavilion Parkville.

You will draw alongside others in a relaxed, social setting that allows space for pause, experimentation and play. By spending time looking, drawing and sharing space outdoors, the workshop encourages you to feel more connected to urban nature and to your own place within it. All experience levels are welcome, and curiosity is the only requirement.
