Imagining the Forest
Print Making & Cyanotype
About the Course
"Imagining with the Forest" is a creative workshop intertwining nature exploration, observation, and creative expression through art and words. Participants will engage in forest walks, botanical collections, mark-making, and cyanotype photograms, to explore new possibilities and ways of seeing thereby deepening their connection with nature and their own art practice. Through reflective sessions, group discussions, and individual feedback, this workshop encourages capturing nuanced details, emotions, and sensory experiences, translating into practices that favour process and exploration versus predictable results. The intention of this workshop is a process of tuning new ways of seeing, thinking, and doing in their art practice to nature.
