Catherine will show you how to draw a flower or plant but with the freedom of using imaginative tools, colours and forms but still finish with some wonderful depictions of botany.

The day will be split into three parts

• Drawing with found objects and tools

• Continuous line drawing from plants and flowers

• Collage with integration of all the elements studied during the day.

There will be plenty of time for questions throughout the processes and Catherine will demonstrate each element.

• Some essential equipment, paper and tools provided. You’ll need to bring: empty jam jar with lid, glue stick, scissors, old magazines or coloured pictures, if you have any.

• Light refreshments provided but please bring along a packed lunch
