Event Information

You will spend time observing details in the landscape through drawing and writing and then come together to create a collective cyanotype drawing. The cyanotype process, or blueprint process, was used by early botanists to record plants. Participants will combine drawing and notation to create a collage of observation inspired by the landscape.

The session will start with a poetry reading and discussion of the poetic potential of the biodiverse chalk grass landscape. Participants will be encouraged to engage with the grass landscape and identify a location to observe and draw. The group will spend 45 minutes developing attentive cyanotype drawings of a specific part of the grassland.

Accessibility
