A long time ago! Sat 28th October there is a day workshop @bristolfolkhouse then from Thursday 2nd November 10.00 until 13.00 the new six week nature journalling course begins.

Anatomy heatwave

 Monday evening and continuing what is feeling like a mini heatwave had me chasing drawings travelling hover craft like off the tabletop in the slipstream of the whirring fans. Good to see a full classroom of enthusiastic souls travelling into Bristol after a very hot day. We even had a chance to look at the superb drawings of @brokensharkcage on Instagram as a well placed bit of inspiration - many thanks Duncan!
