Spend the weekend looking up at trees, dabbling with pressed botanicals, and creating art at an interactive workshop in the outdoors

If Sundays are meant for slowing things down, including taking a walk, or a digital detox, here’s another activity to keep it light. Arts-based educator and theatre-maker Sananda Mukhopadhyaya, who spends her Sundays leading nature enthusiasts on tree walks around the city, will be teaming up with botanical artist Riya Bhartia for a two-part event — a tree walk and a floral art workshop.
“This is an experiential workshop where I will demonstrate and guide participants on the process of botanical art,” Bhartia shares. Much of her art involves the creation of patterns and symmetrical shapes made from pressed flowers glued to paper. She explains that her technique involves taking a closer look at seeds, leaves, and petals as well as an understanding of form when creating the artwork.
