Information

Celebrating the landscape John Muir grew up in – learn some history and some journal techniques as we wander, record and create in the outdoors as he loved to do.

We will walk on fairly flat ground and at an easy pace to notice and engage with our environment.

No creative or art experience required.

What to bring
A journal or sketchpad, a pencil/pen (all other extra materials will be supplied by Lynn) and a curious mind.

Bring something to drink and dress for the weather.
