Art in Nature - Nature journaling for kids and families

Event update:  Unfortunately, our event host Charlene, has notified us that she is unwell and unable to attend. The event will still proceed and will now be hosted by Jessica Wilson - NPWS Nature Education Coordinator.

Join local artist Charlene Wills from Arts by Nature for an art and nature journaling workshop in Onkaparinga River National Park.

Charlene will guide you to use various techniques for observation, mindfulness and creativity to unlock new ways of connecting with nature. This is a beautiful calming introduction to nature journaling, using eco-friendly papers and pencils to carefully observe and document the plants and animals that we see.

You will receive your own hand bound Nature Journal and pencils for this session and to keep.
