They discuss issues of sustainability and environmental activism.
Nature Journal
Nature Journal is an inspired twist on your standard pocket field notebook or sketchbook. It inspires us all to experiment with nature by trying out traditional techniques like natural dyeing with plants, lumen and cyanotype photography and making inks and cordials with botanicals.
A joyful collaboration with Norwegian artist and photographer Marianne Wie, inviting us to connect creatively with nature.
An ideal gift for yourself or a friend!
