5-wk Plant drawing short course 🌿 Balam Balam Place

Plant drawing sessions at Balam Balam Place in Brunswick over 5 weeks

11am to 1pm Wednesdays 

Balam Balam Place is new! And so is the Year. Plant drawing is a good way into things – it's not an escape from the world but a way of resourcing ourselves for the rest of our lives.

Draw Plants Together offers friendly, inclusive plant drawing workshops for everyone that focus the indigenous plants of the Narrm area. The workshops support personal, social and ecological wellbeing in the context of Aboriginal cultural landscapes and care for Country. They're also an opportunity for creativity in the company of others.

• find your way with drawing
• connect with plants 
• learn with others 

Workshops are facilitated by me! (Craig) Find out more about me and the workshops in general on my website.

First Nations people and people from refugee backgrounds attend for free.
