Art in the Orchard

Want to do something creative outside this autumn? Grab a friend and come along to this relaxed sketching and painting session in a peaceful community orchard.

What to expect:

A big welcome from Grace (@sparkingcommunity), a short intro to the space, an invite to join in a guided moment to connect and breathe, a quick names round and a guided warm up art task.

Clipboards and benches will be dotted around the space and you can go and sit wherever you want for as long as you want, to draw and paint. The perfect way to unwind and reconnect with nature.

At the end, we’ll come back together and if people would like to share their work or some words about how it felt to connect with what they were observing they can.

This will be a great chance to spend some time with a friend and discover a new outdoor space in your local area.

All art materials will be provided, including watercolour paints, pens, pencils, colouring pencils, chalks, charcoal, oil pastels and for those who like to use their words, there will be an old typewriter for creating poems and stories.
