Nature Art Journaling Workshop with Amanda Ayala

Join local artist and instructor Amanda Ayala for an inspiring workshop hosted by the Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, where you’ll learn how to transform your experiences around the Laguna into art! Walk the grounds of our native plant garden, getting grounded in the beauty of the Laguna, with warm-up sketches to get your creative flow started. You will be encouraged to pull from your memories, emotions, and experiences to weave together colors, shapes, moods, and personal inspiration to create a one-of-a-kind art journal that reflects your own creativity.

Whether you're an artist or simply an admirer of self-expression, this engaging session will leave you with a one of a kind nature-inspired art journal all your own! All materials included.
