Share my journey foraging across rural and urban landscapes for coloured soils, building a library of natural soil pigments, and hand-grinding paints using traditional and experimental techniques.  Creating art from these natural materials provides a strong sense of place and a profound connection to nature.  Finally educating and raising awareness about soils through the beauty and inspiration of art.

    We combine a walk in the woods around Lam Tsuen and Taipo with an hour or so of sketching, with some tips and sharing. To connect deeply with nature, it is good to practice quiet observation within a natural setting, by a quiet path or stream. 10am - 12.30 (approx). Contact me direct for details.
