Workshop - June 12-14, 2017!

10:00 am to 3:00 pm each day

The Art Base

99 Midland Spur, Basalt, CO

Do you love gardening? Keeping a garden journal is a way to celebrate your garden in an artful way. Gardening is more than just digging holes, planting seeds, pulling weeds, and watering your plants–it’s about nurturing your soil and your soul. A garden journal will help you remember all that beauty and delicious bounty for years to come–it’s a visual record of gardening dates, ideas, plant and flower documentation, and personal stories. In this weekend workshop, you will learn nature sketching & watercolor, page design, lettering, and artful journaling techniques with artist-naturalist Maria Hodkins in the classroom. With these skills, we will tour some local gardens and sketch plants plen aire with field notes. By the end of the workshop you’ll experience the joys of keeping a garden journal and discover how it can be used to plan your garden and serve as a lasting record of your gardening trials, triumphs, and treasures.

_All skill levels are welcome! A detailed supply list will be emailed to you when you register
