Sketching the Coast: Nature Journaling Basics

Spend time slowing down and observing the natural world through nature journaling. In this beginner-friendly workshop led by our Artists, Writers and Scholars recipient Dottie Leatherwood, participants will learn simple techniques for recording what they see, hear, and notice, from the shape of a tree to the changing light across the marsh. Nature journaling is a powerful way to connect more deeply with coastal environments by combining art, observation and curiosity. Through guided prompts and hands-on practice, you’ll explore how to capture details of the world around you while building your own personal record of place. All skill levels welcome.
