Celebrate the Seasons - May 2024 Workshops
Join Becki Clark in Celebrating the Seasons with nature, creativity, journaling and craft workshops…
Each Month, Becki will be running 3 workshops to creatively celebrate the magic of the month, focusing on seasonal plants and flowers, and taking inspiration from what’s going on outside to inspire paintings, drawings, journaling and making. The first two sessions of each month are prerecorded and you will receive a link to a video to watch the workshop at your leisure from the chosen release date, the final session of each month will be a live workshop (with a recording available) where Becki will be sharing techniques, tips and ways to nature journal that specific month.
The first two seasonal sessions will be recorded in a masterclass style, focusing on specific nature or occasion, and using a new technique to capture this, Becki will draw on years of experience teaching to offer her tips and tricks to frequently asked questions throughout and you’ll be able to watch the video for up to a year after release. These workshops are designed to help you connect to the changing seasons and months, enjoy exploring new techniques and explore your own creative path to seasonal living.

Workshop reviews
‘‘I just wanted to say a big thank you - I absolutely loved this course! I didn’t manage to join the lives but I have now caught up on all of them and I’m so chuffed with my journal and all the techniques we learnt. I found it so mindful and grounding and it really helped me to be in the moment - both in the sessions themselves and whilst out for walks taking photos and foraging for inspiration. You have such a lovely teaching style and I will definitely be joining future workshops. It’s lovely to play and experiment without pressure and creating all the different pieces and textures really reminded me of doing my A Level art textiles which I really loved!’’
‘I adore workshops with Becki. Her gentle, paced approach is inclusive for everyone, she puts you completely at your ease. The sessions leave you confident to go off and create yourself and with the bonus of a recording to refer back to. My next workshop is already booked. Becki is now a regular on my to do list!
‘‘I am so glad that I came across Becki and her seasonal workshops - it has given me such wonderful opportunity to combine my interest in both art and nature in such a mindful and enjoyable way. Becki has inspired me to take more notice of the small details and delights in the countryside and world around me. She has shown me a way to bring that into my home by introducing me to nature journalling. I have so enjoyed the workshops where her delightful and patient approach has enabled me to find new ways to use my creativity and to experiment with colour and different mediums. I have really looked forward to our Saturday morning journalling sessions which have been an ideal way to set time aside for me which is so good for my mental wellbeing. Thank you so much Becki for bringing this happiness into my life.’’
