Synopsis

In her most passionate and personal book to date, Ann Blockley sets out a series of ideas for working with nature, in its widest sense, to nurture creativity and restore momentum when inspiration runs low. The approach is deliberately open and exploratory, encouraging a playful, low-pressure way of being outside and carrying that feeling back into the studio.

Across the book, she shares projects and practices that connect materials to place, from making paint using local sources to developing slow, sustained observation through repeated studies of a familiar landscape. Alongside her own work, examples from other artists, including textile and mixed-media practitioners, broaden the range of techniques and outcomes. Suitable for both budding and more experienced artists interested in foraged, recycled and natural materials.
