In coordination with BRAHM's exhibit "Field Studies," we will be hosting a nature journaling workshop at the Blue Ridge Conservancy Conservation Campus at 416 Aho Road, Blowing Rock. 

BRAHM Education Director Jennifer Garonzik will lead participants on a nature journaling exploration of the BRCCC streamside property. Participants will explore the local ecosystem plants and wildlife through observation, sketching in pencil, watercolor pencil, ink and wash on paper. Sketchbooks and art materials will be provided for this workshop. Bring a packed lunch to enjoy together from 12:00-1:00 in the BRCCC classroom.

After a short demonstration, the group will scatter along the pollinator meadow, which is primarily flat with a short grassy trail. The parking is in a gravel lot, and restrooms are available. Participants may wish to bring a folding chair for use while sketching, as well as water, lunch, sun and bug protection. Dress appropriately for the weather, with sturdy footwear. A rain date of August 14 is planned.

Space is limited to 15 participants; registration is required, and carpooling is encouraged.
