Drawing workshop @ MoMA & friends gardens

Come spend a morning drawing in the creative setting of Sanquhar. 
Using the gardens as inspiration, you will be guided through a set of prompts to explore your own artistic style. Throughout the workshop we will be using foraged, handmade art materials by Old Mill Arts, which are beautiful and versatile art materials to energise your drawing style.
I hope this workshop inspires you to keep drawing, with this in mind you will be given a sketchbook to take home. Sketch-booking can act as a visual diary; helping develop a sense of self and place as you observe and connect with the world around you. 
I will bring a few sketchbook examples, and you are also welcome to bring your own sketch-books or drawings to share with the group. 

This workshop is open to everyone, no matter where you are in your creative journey. Open to beginners who are looking for new ways to find creative wellbeing, or for seasoned artists who would enjoy time in the garden, experimenting with a new materials and meeting creative folk. This workshop is aimed at older kids and adults looking to have a concentrated amount of time drawing.
