Three Trees - OAK part 2
In this second in a series of three drawing workshops, we'll be studying an oak tree in Victoria Park and making a drawing implement from its twigs. In the previous session we made ink from the tree so we'll be using this and the stick/pen/pencil you make to draw the oak. The three sessions will give everyone a chance to see how a tree changes over time and also to experiment with different mark-making materials and to loosen their drawing approach up. We often get nervous about our drawings looking right but when you use different materials from the usual pencil or pen, it frees us up to observe more deeply - and play.
Kate Poland leads the workshops. She founded Cordwainers Garden and Cordwainers Grow and is a trained print-maker but has returned to simple mark-making and drawing to observe nature and feel good!
"Connecting people and place through discovery"
We are a Hackney based community interest company focusing on connecting people with the natural world in creative and collaborative ways. Through innovative teaching and experiential learning, Cordwainers Grow hopes to connect and inspire a network of social and environmental innovators.
