Australian nature meets science and art
By Paula Peeters
More nature journaling workshops announced for 2024
‘Pay what you can’ option for most!
‘Nature journaling for teachers’ session in Toowoomba
After the enthusiastic response to my workshops so far this year, I am offering a series of similar workshops for the rest of the year. However I have changed the format and pricing after much thought, and feedback from participants.
The fee for all workshops that I organise (except ‘Nature journaling for Teachers’) will be ‘Pay what you can’ by donation. This is because I would like as many people as possible to experience the many benefits of nature journaling, and I am trying to reduce the obstacle of cost where I can.
Brisbane City Council also sponsors some of my nature journaling workshops at Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens and offers these for free to participants. These sell out quick once tickets go on sale, so if you are interested it’s best to follow Brisbane City Council on Eventbrite for notifications of event listings.
I have also changed the format of my 5 hour workshops to 3 hours.

Mount Kaputar: A living volcano
By Paula Peeters, Adam Fawcett, Shannon Greenfields and James Faris.
Developed in partnership with Saving our Species, New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment; and in collaboration with New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service.
‘Possums of Australia’ design collection
Yes I have a possum obsession!
Maybe you do too?
I decided to illustrate all 27 species of possum and glider that live in Australia. I’ve loved these critters for a long time, perhaps because most of them live in forests, and I also love forests.
As a result I now present you with 8 different possum / glider designs.
Organic Cotton Tea towels are available now for 2 of these designs!
On sale now!
