Art Forms in Nature - 21st September

Art Forms in Nature -  I am holdfast. I am flow
A playful sensory experience that explores the natural flow of seaweeds
held fast in a creative making process

When: 21st September, 09h00 - 16h00

Where: Cape Point Mountain Getaway - Biodiversity and Mindfulness Centre

Costy:  R950 (includes lunch and materials)

We meet at Millers Point, just past Simon's Town, and head down to the beach to be lead on a sensory foraging experience explaining the properties seaweeds and how they can be used as a source of food. Art teacher, Ros Stockhall, will guide on the form and aesthetic quality of seaweed and how this can be used as a point of creative exploration. We explore colour and learn to create colour swatches. 

Having harvested the material, we will return to the Ros Bean Biodiversity & Mindfulness Centre (BAM), where we will enjoy a seaweed-inspired lunch. 

During the drawing process, you will explore a playful, messy space, deconstructing our held fast mindsets into an open flow of opportunity.

Workshop includes:
* Mindful seaweed foraging
* Delicate wild food lunch
* Exploration of colour 
* Botanical illustration of seaweed subject
