On Saturday18th July, join local artist John Ainsworth (known as whenwewerecows - (https://linktr.ee/whenwewerecows) for a creative workshop inspired by the beautiful settings of Baffins Pond where you can unleash your creativity on paper.

After an introduction to the past and present history of Baffins and a stroll around the pond, John will help the participants to develop their own creative practice. Together, we will explore how to use a range of media (pencils, pens, natural elements) to record and sketch memories and the natural world on paper - all based in a wonderful venue within the heart of Portsmouth.
