Workshop Description:
Come explore the gardens from a new perspective! This is a workshop for everyone, not just artists. Using journals collaboratively, you will develop your curiosity in an artistic exchange by sharing what you see, think, and wonder about while exploring the gardens.  You will learn about and use tools that artists and writers employ to find, follow, and develop paths of inquiry. While journaling, you will share your thinking processes and work in each other’s journals.  You will leave with a journal you have worked on with the whole group. This workshop is for anyone looking to deepen their curiosity and understanding, spark creative thinking, and develop collaboration skills.
