Plant Gazing: Under Saille Moon Workshop with Joseph Walsh

Connect with Earth's plant allies through drawing, painting and tea ceremony…

With the moon in Sagittarius, it’s an ideal moment to receive knowledge from other kinds of consciousness. This workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with plant allies and set personal intentions for the month ahead.

In alchemy, the art of drawing plants holds a twofold significance. On one level it represents the material aspect of the alchemical process, of sunlight and water becoming stem, leaf and flower. On a deeper symbolic level, the depiction of plants embodies the concept of growth and transformation, informing the practitioner – an alchemical self*

Immerse yourself in the IMT Gallery space, subtly smudged with mugwort to encourage chi flow. A curated selection of plants will be available for drawing, accompanied by prompts and guidance on the techniques of plant gazing and observation.

In this two hour workshop we will explore the mysteries of plants through drawing, painting, and meditative observations, we will go beyond the confines of the ordinary.

Take a moment to reconnect to our bodies and the living world through a serene tea ceremony, grounding ourselves in the present moment. We will look at Ground Ivy - aromatic, clearing and warming.

Joseph Walsh, an artist rooted in forging human-nature connections through his work with plants. Using drawing, painting and film to actualise a co-existing with nature. He studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths University, and recently delivered the course Floral Time: How Artists Describe Plants at the Berlin Art Institute, workshops at Beaconsfield Gallery and No Show Space, as well as sharing insights with art students at Goldsmiths and Reading University.
