For “walk and draw” we focus on a few species. We will spend about 10-15 minutes per species learning about them, and then you’ll have a chance to draw and make art to remember them (should you wish).
We’ll be drawing but also trying out some Tataki-zome (or leaf/flower bashing) to make prints.
Location: Each walk will start at the entrance to Roath Pleasure gardens, next to the phone box at the intersection of Alder Road and Ninian road.
Time: 2:30-4:30pm.
Facilitator: Izzy
open to all ages and levels.
6th June 2:30-4:30pm "Moss and Lichen Walk and Draw" (Appreciate the little things!)
Come and learn a little about tiny worlds of mosses and lichens and make some art with them. This is a slow walk, with 3 or 4 stops. Izzy will talk about the biology and ecology of mosses and lichens, we’ll see the magic of them rehydrating, and then take some time to get to draw and create.
The walk is BSL Accessible, will cover only a short distance through the park, and is largely flat and paved (with sitting on grass or benches to draw).
Please wear weather appropriate clothing, sun screen if it’s sunny, and sturdy footwear.
Art supplies will be available but feel free to bring your own notebooks or drawing equipment if you like.
You’re also welcome to bring a camping chair/sit pad to sit on as we’ll be making 10-15 minute stops along the walk.

☆☆☆☆
Ar gyfer “Cerdded a Darlunio” byddwn yn canolbwyntio ar ychydig o rywogaethau. Byddwn yn treulio tua 10–15 munud ar bob un yn dysgu amdanynt, ac yna bydd cyfle i chi eu darlunio neu greu gwaith celf i’w cofio (os dymunwch).
Byddwn yn darlunio ond hefyd yn rhoi cynnig ar Tataki-zome (neu dechneg curo dail/blodau) i greu printiau.
Lleoliad: Bydd pob taith yn dechrau wrth fynedfa Gerddi Pleser y Rhath, wrth ymyl y blwch ffôn ar groesffordd Heol Alder a Heol Ninian.
Amser: 2:30–4:30pm
Hwylusydd: Izzy
Agored i bob oedran a phob lefel.
6 Mehefin, 2:30–4:30pm “Cerdded a Darlunio Mwsogl a Chen” (Gwerthfawrogwch y pethau bach!)
Dewch i ddysgu ychydig am y byd bach rhyfeddol o fwsoglau a chen, a chreu rhywfaint o gelf wedi’i ysbrydoli ganddynt. Bydd hon yn daith araf gyda 3 neu 4 stop. Bydd Izzy yn siarad am fioleg ac ecoleg mwsoglau a chen, byddwn yn gweld hud eu hailhydradu, ac yna’n cymryd amser i ddarlunio a chreu.
Mae’r daith yn hygyrch i ddefnyddwyr BSL, yn cwmpasu pellter byr drwy’r parc, ac mae’r llwybr yn bennaf yn wastad ac wedi’i balmantio (gyda chyfle i eistedd ar y glaswellt neu ar feinciau i ddarlunio).
Gwisgwch ddillad addas i’r tywydd, eli haul os yw’n heulog, ac esgidiau cadarn.
Bydd deunyddiau celf ar gael, ond mae croeso i chi ddod â’ch llyfr nodiadau neu offer darlunio eich hun os hoffech.
Mae croeso hefyd i chi ddod â chadair wersylla neu bad eistedd, gan y byddwn yn stopio am 10–15 munud ar hyd y daith.
