Early morning plant drawing 🌿

Early morning plant drawing sessions at the Rotunda Wetland, Clifton Hill

7am–8:15am Tuesdays in Biderap (January and February)

Plant drawing in the morning sets in motion different possibilities and pathways, and resources us for the rest of lives. It can bring us quietly into the present and into connection with the local ecologies around us (that we're also a part of). Drawing plants together also an opportunity to connect with others and for creativity and learning.

Attend single or multiple sessions on Tuesday mornings in late Jan and Feb down by the Merri Merri. 

Meet each morning at the Rotunda Wetland, Clifton Hill. The Rotunda is a shelter with seating, and sessions will go ahead on rainy or warmer days, unless weather conditions are unsupportive. 

Feel free to bring a thermos of coffee or tea or munch on a muesli bar etc. :)

Fees are ‘sliding scale’ and include all art materials, and a 10% donation to First Nations orgs
