A Moment of Mindfulness – Zine Workshop with Natalya Smith
October 20, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Join illustrator Natalya Smith in creating your own zine (mini comic book) telling a story of a memorable moment you’ve had while out in nature in Dumfries and Galloway. As mundane as enjoying the sound of rain falling through the leaves of towering trees above you, or as thrilling as the time a fellow hiker helped retrieve your boot from the mud – any story that reminds you of the smaller beauties of life. Reflect on moments that connect you to the world around you and create a moment of mindfulness.
Together we can explore ways to transfer your story onto the paper in a way that feels right for you. I don’t care how it looks in the end as long as it feels good to make it!
I am an illustrator but in my practice I like to focus on the process of making art more so than the finished piece. Being a human person can be tough sometimes but I think there’s nothing more healing than expressing yourself with silly little drawings. If you’re enjoying yourself, you’re doing it right!
