This workshop is part of the Garden Museum's new Branch Out programme, a series of free events and activities exploring gardening, art, floristry, plant science, history, design, and more!
Are you an artist who enjoys drawing plants?
Would you like to write a poem about the taste of a sage infusion?
Do you have a publishing project involving plants you would like to discuss?
Join artist, gardener, Poetic Pastel Press and The Gardening Drawing Club founder Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck for a two-hour creative drop-in session. With Johanna‘s guidance, you will be invited to draw and write inspired by plants and bind your creation into a booklet.
Those with a project in development, even if only at the seed stage, are welcome to join with their questions, as this Branch Out session is open to all and creative in various stages of a project.
