Sketching Bristol's Long-Lived Trees

Rest under a shady tree and take up your pencils!

On Thursday 20th August, come down to the University of Bristol Botanic Gardens for evening of sketching and creatively exploring some of the city's long-lived trees.

We'll wander beneath the branches, drawing and imagining the histories and memories of some very old trees - from a tightly coiled twisted hazel, to a giant 400 year old oak.

This session is relaxed and beginner-friendly! Alison will guide and facilitate, offering prompts and moments to rest, refresh and have a chat.

Drawing materials provided, although you are welcome to bring your own if you'd prefer.

Timings:
5:45pm arrive
6:00pm session begins
8:00pm close

There will be 2 comfort breaks during the session. If you have questions about the event contact [email protected]
