Field Notes

Taught by Hyewon Grigoni and Alex Nickley

In Partnership with Duke Campus Farm


Community Workshop: Open to all – no Duke affiliation required!

In this workshop, participants will explore the beauty of the plants, bugs, and surroundings of the Duke Campus Farm, and learn to document their observations in words and sketches. Whether you are a budding bird or bug watcher, seasoned nature lover, or have never given a thought to keeping a nature journal, The Art of Noticing workshop will help you hone skills to become a careful observer to the natural world. Workshop leaders will guide you through a hands on experience in both plein air sketching and nature journaling, and hopefully set you off on a journey to a new way of noticing the world around you beyond Duke Campus Farm. All attendees will receive a field note book to use and take home.
