Observational Plant Drawing - WO Assistant checklist

with Annemarie Verschoor

A biology, foraging and drawing workshop in one! In the workshop Observational Plant Drawing, together with biologist and artist Annemarie Verschoor, participants will be guided through the different dimensions of plants and their anatomy, and will exercise to recognise, draw, and understand the many shapes and lines of plants.

As a workshop assistant, your role is to set up the space, take care of ticketing, help Annemarie when needed and clean up afterwards. Don't hesitate to print this assistant checklist and have it with you on the day of workshop!

Here is some information about ticketing when you are a workshop assistant.
