Take time to pause and focus on the little things in this first of its kind mindful art workshop with qualified teacher Denise at Tūhura Otago Museum.

This workshop, A Lens in Nature, will offer attendees the opportunity to capture a snapshot of nature using close-up observational drawing. Using a lens, attendees will be encouraged to choose focused areas of interest to highlight in their own artwork.

Attendees will be based in Tūhura’s tranquil Nature gallery for inspiration, followed by a workshop in our beautiful Atrium, under the canopy of the beautiful museum reserve. This workshop will take place over 2.5 hours, catering for all levels and introducing mindful practices. Attendees will walk away with their own beautiful creation and new skills to develop further and continue their mindful art practice.

Bring your phone to enable you to take photos from the displays for inspiration.

All materials included. Light refreshments provided – please email [email protected] with any dietary requirements.
