NATURE JOURNALING:
Exploring the world with Pen & Paper

Saturday, August 9th, 2025
9:30-11:30AM

$45 per person, includes material fee
($40 for Season Partners/Enthusiasts)

In this two-hour class, we will discuss the basics of nature journaling, engaging with pen, paper, and our observation skills to explore the natural world around us. Participants will create their own drawings in response to the land, leaving the class with a variety of tools to continue investigating the world with. This class focuses on less technical skills, and more observation and sense-making of the world through drawing. There are no prerequisites for this class; artists of all levels are welcome.

Instructor, Phoebe Draper

I recently moved to Boulder after spending my life in the Blue Ridge foothills of Virginia. I studied architecture and landscape architecture at the University of Virginia and am currently building skills in ecological restoration work, earth tending, and regenerative farming through traveling and working with different landscapes.

I am an artist of varying mediums, primarily in botanical / architectural drawing as well as hoop dance and performance. I find connectivity and ease through identifying and drawing plants, and I look forward to sharing these skills with the Dharma's Garden community.
