Workshop Description:
Take a moment to pause and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Botanical Gardens with local illustrator Hollis Callas. Join us for a guided exploration of nature journaling, a mindful practice that encourages you to slow down and notice the ever-changing details of the world around you. Hollis will share her own process for gathering inspiration from the gardens, offering insights into how she observes, sketches, and captures fleeting moments of beauty. Through simple yet engaging techniques, she’ll demonstrate how to weave together sketches and reflections that bring nature to life on the page.
No prior experience is needed—just bring your curiosity, a sketchbook, and a pencil.
