Art in Nature - Fryston Country Trails

This three-hour facilitated workshop combines a guided nature connection walk with creative art-making. This session offers participants time to slow down, notice the landscape and respond through accessible, process-led creative activities. Participants will be guided on a gentle nature connection walk encouraging mindful engagement with the local environment, inviting participants to explore seasonal changes, colour, texture, pattern, natural forms and collect fallen leaves etc. Once settled in our outdoor space, participants begin with a series of short, guided mixed media and printmaking activities inspired by their observations. These accessible exercises introduce creative techniques while encouraging playful experimentation and personal expression. You will have the opportunity to make your own pieces to take home. The workshop concludes with an opportunity for informal sharing and conversation, celebrating individual responses and strengthening connections between participants. We can either leave people to make their own way back or conclude where we began. The session will be held outdoors on the country park, including a short walk, so please dress accordingly. Toilets are available at the community centre. Kindly supported by Wakefield Council Culture Grants.
