touch grass creatively

a nature-led creativity pdf workbook

for reconnecting through making

25 guided activities rooted in texture, observation, play & the natural world.

--------------------------------

somewhere along the way

many of us stopped making things with our hands unless they had a purpose.

this e-workbook was created as a slower, more tactile way of reconnecting:

to nature

to creativity,

and to ourselves.

for people who:

• feel calmer in nature
• crave slower, more tactile experiences
• spend more time consuming than creating
• miss making things with their hands
• want creativity to feel grounding rather than performative

inside the workbook:

6 chapters

25 guided activities rooted in nature, observation and sensory experience

you’ll work with materials like: 

• coffee, wine, water, tumeric
• charcoal, pencil, pen
• flowers,  leaves, other found natural materials
• watercolour
  

many activities begin outdoors, then continue through drawing, collecting, printing, staining, layering and observation. most require little to no materials.

this workbook is not about producing beautiful outcomes

it’s about rebuilding a relationship: with attention, with your senses, with the natural world, and with the experience of making something with your own hands.

the activities are simply the doorway. 

why i made this

painting and nature became the places where i felt most connected to myself. 

over time, my paintings became the product of that relationship. this workbook is an invitation into the process behind them.
