Presenting at the Academic Support Forum at Chelsea College of Arts — an opportunity to share practice amongst colleagues across the six UAL colleges. I spoke about my Thinking Through Drawing in Nature workshops (2023-24) part of the University of the Arts London Academic Support offer. Can movement and observation outdoors, build concentration, invigorate and stimulate to then explore sketching as a bloom space for potential?

Thank you to colleagues for their positive engagement and questions, to Graham Barton and Dr Christie Johnson for supporting this work and to James Blake for the photo.
