Workshop: Noticing Nature
Yarra Plenty Regional Library
Nature surrounds us, even in a city. From the grass growing through the footpath to the bird sitting on a powerline, the natural world is a constant presence. In this workshop, Harry Saddler (The Eastern Curlew) will help you to slow down and appreciate the natural world around you, and how to bring observational awareness into your writing.
Participants of this workshop will be invited to contribute to the Diamond Valley Library community garden art project with their words and ideas produced on the day.
In partnership with Nillumbik Shire Council
Bookings essential
