Join Community in Print for a peaceful afternoon of meditative sketching surrounded by the beauty of Central Park in springtime. Whether you're looking to explore a new way of connecting with nature or try something new, everyone is welcome, no artistic experience needed!
This free workshop invites you to slow down, observe and sketch the world around you, using the park’s blooming landscapes as inspiration. Through gentle guidance, we’ll explore mindful drawing techniques that encourage relaxation, artistic expression and a deep connection to the environment.
The workshop is suitable for adults and children of all ages, although children must be accompanied by a responsible adult (parent or legal guardian).
Who is this for?
This workshop is open to all and especially welcomes anyone who wishes to unwind, sketch, and be part of a welcoming, diverse group. 🌸
We’ll use our sketches from this to create a nature-inspired sculpture, bringing our artistic observations to life in a collaborative and hands-on way. The sculptures will then be displayed as part of a Blossoms exhibition taking place at the National Trust properties of Cotehele, Antony and Saltram.
What to expect
✔ A guided meditative sketching session in the heart of Central Park
✔ All materials provided – just bring yourself!
✔ Complimentary tea and biscuits
✔ An inclusive and welcoming space where creativity and community come together
✔ The chance to develop your sketches into a nature-inspired sculpture in the second session
Come join us, sketch in the fresh air and let’s blossom together through art!

About Green Communities

Green Communities is an exciting project connecting people and wildlife in Devonport, Central Park, Keyham and the west of the city of Plymouth.
Green Communities is a partnership project between Plymouth City Council, the National Trust, Devon Wildlife Trust, Real Ideas Organisation and Zebra Collective. It is a pilot project funded through a combination of grants and contributions, including support from Heritage Lottery Fund Urban Nature Development Grant and Natural England.
The project builds on the work of the Green Minds project that ran from March 2020 – August 2022.

About Green Minds

Green Minds was an Urban Innovative Actions (UIC) funded project that aimed to better connect people to green and blue spaces within and around the city of Plymouth.
This innovative project was led by Plymouth City Council’s Strategic Planning and Infrastructure Department in collaboration with a range of local stakeholders including the University of Plymouth, Real Ideas Organisation, Arts University Plymouth, Devon Wildlife Trust, The Data Place and the National Trust. The project aimed to improve the quality and condition of green and blue infrastructure. It also aimed to positively enhance people’s interaction and involvement in these spaces, recognising that spending time in green and blue spaces has positive health and wellbeing benefits.
