Come and join Natasha Houseago, who will be running an outdoor charcoal drawing workshop using her tiny Indian jewellery making forge to make stick charcoal in old tobacco tin ovens.
Natasha will prepare ash drawing boards so you can make some ‘Earth Fire Iron’ exhibition-inspired charcoal drawings on the boards.
It might be interesting to look at how nature has inspired Alan Evan's beautiful metal work, and work by young makers such as Neve Taylor-Bridges, whose sculpture ‘Arachne’ is on display in the Walled Garden. From Spider's webs to stalks and leaves, there are so many natural references in the exhibition.
You will be able to take your drawing home after it's been spray varnished. All ages welcome, but please wear warm layers! Hot drinks and cakes are available to buy inside. 

Date: Tuesday 28th October
Time: 10.30am - 3.30pm
Location: Museum in the Park, Stroud
Cost: Free
