Sketchbook Making for Everyday Wonder Workshop
Explore the magic in everyday moments and craft a sketchbook to capture them all! This free hands-on workshop at the Shad Landing Nature Center combines art with the beauty of the outdoors. You’ll create a handmade sketchbook using simple bookbinding techniques and fill its pages with drawing, collage, embroidery, and playful experimentation. The experience will be enriched by a ranger-led nature talk, inspiring you to notice and interpret small wonders, whether it’s a leaf’s shape, a snippet of conversation, or shifting light in the landscape. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind sketchbook and a set of prompts to carry curiosity into your daily life.
This open-format studio experience blends instruction with personal exploration, allowing each participant’s creative journey to unfold uniquely. You’ll learn accessible techniques, engage with guided creative prompts, and connect with a community of fellow creators. Perfect for all ages and skill levels, this workshop is ideal for anyone looking to explore artistic techniques, reflect on everyday moments, and celebrate the joy of creative discovery.
