Join local artist, Donna Gordge, on a morning of creative exploration while taking in the stunning natural setting of Breakout Creek / Purruna Pari in West Beach area.

This session will include a range of different activities related to creative exploration and movement through this particular space, for example, drawing with found materials, taking field notes, mark making as you walk, and inventing stories about found objects.

• Please note, this will not be walking for fitness; the group will stop often and for various lengths of time to take in the surroundings.
• Participants of any skill level are welcome, and creative beginners are particularly encouraged. This will be a supportive environment to try something new.
• The main walking paths in the area are wheelchair accessible.

When:

Saturday 5 April – 9.30am - 11.30am.

Where:

Meet at Apex Park, 616 Burbridge Rd, West Beach, by the bird sculptures in the pond and wander along Breakout Creek linear park.

There are accessible toilets at Apex Park, and drinking water along the way.

Why:

There is a great deal of research which says that well and happy humans have creative, social and nature-based activities in their day-to-day lives. This session encourages people to come together and enjoy the environment around Breakout Creek, and to get involved in some creative activities they may not have tried before.
