Join artists Maddison Gibbs and Virginia Keft for an all-ages botanical mark-making workshop exploring native plants and objects from Country.
Drawing inspiration from their works currently on display at Artspace – As Above, So Below and Pinampi – participants are invited to respond to the textures, forms and patterns found in leaves, bark, seedpods and other natural materials through guided drawing exercises.
Through hands-on making, close observation and intergenerational knowledge sharing, this workshop invites participants to reflect on the relationships between plants, place, cultural knowledge and creative practice.
Presented as part of the Knowledge Sharing Forum, view the full program here.
Virginia Keft, Pinampi, is presented as part of 2026 NSW Visual Arts Fellowship (Emerging), developed and curated by Artspace, Sydney, in partnership with the NSW Government through Create NSW.
