Summer at Van Vleck - Nature Journaling

Thursday, August 20, 2026•1:30 PM

Slow down and notice the textures of the natural world in this creative nature journaling class. Using leaves, bark, stones, and other found objects in the Gardens, we’ll experiment with texture rubbings and transfer their patterns onto the pages of our journals while experimenting with color, layering and the pressures our marks make.
