In this playful hands-on two-hour session enjoy the fun of mark making on paper. Let’s explore using nature; bark, twigs, wood, feathers, leaves, seeds, pods and gum nuts to make creative and gestural surface marks on different types and sizes of paper.
You will build your own expressive style of nature artworks. All art materials and equipment are provided. Expect to make numerous papers to take home.
You will be shown how to make some simple folded book forms with your papers. There will also be the opportunity to make and use your own brushes and pens from nature. Please wear old clothes or an apron and enclosed footwear.
