Dietmar Voorwold & Craig Gibsone

Nature is a fantastic venue for creative expression.

In this week we'll go out to the beach, the river, the woods and the Bay and use the landscape canvas for our art. As a way of meditation we'll follow our intuition and use light, shadow, time and tides to experience the natural process of creating, raising beauty and finally letting go again.

Our art material: rocks, stones, sand, clay, shells, stranded wood, leaves, berries… and the precious moment. Stonetower

Suitable outdoor clothing is recommended. Please be prepared
to meet the power of Nature!

A photo-exhibition at the end of the week will visually reflect our journey.
