Do you love to connect with nature and want to deepen this connection through art? Join a supportive and relaxed group run by artist & eco-therapist Caroline Schofield and artist & teacher Mary Thomas. Our bilingual, day workshop will be inspired by time outdoors around the beautiful diverse woodland nature reserve with fantastic views across Dwyryd Afon and Estuary. As it’s a bilingual course, we’ll be speaking in both Welsh and English.

We’ll provide an art kit for the workshop that contains natural ink, pencils, and paper – and we’ll support you to connect deeply with nature while outdoors. We take a playful and fun approach to being artistic, and no experience is needed!

Experience and prerequisites

  • No prior experience is needed, and we provide all art materials.
  • You must be able to walk uphill through the nature reserve to our base. Ynfortunately, this base is not wheelchair accessible but we do also run other events that use accessible venues.
  • You should be happy to be out in all weather conditions, including rain and wind, and have appropriate clothing. Please read the kit list carefully before you sign up.

What to expect on the day

We will meet at the Gwaith Powdwr reserve gates at 12 noon. Take the road out of Penrhyndeudraeth towards Pont Briwet (the bridge over the River Dwyryd to Harlech). Take the first road into Cooke's Industrial Estate, following it for approximately 80m to the reserve gates. Parking can be found either here (SH 616 388) or further down the road towards Pont Briwet (SH 618 384).

This event will involve mindfulness-based nature connection activities. We will spend time in nature areas that are open to the public, which may include dog walkers with dogs off their leads.

  • Walking shoes or boots, ideally waterproof
  • Full waterproofs (top and bottom)
  • Warm layers
  • A backpack with a plastic bag or waterproof liner
  • Food and drink for the day
