About The Gardening Drawing Club
The Gardening Drawing Club is a series of unique events with a holistic approach offering free access to arts and horticulture in Britain. With monthly happenings, The Gardening Drawing is hosted in a broad range of locations, from art centres to community gardens and temples; the events range from workshops to talks and experiences. Veganic gardening methods are employed through The Gardening Drawing Club, advocating for gentleness and compassion while supporting seed sovereignty, racial, climate and land justice and reparation, biodiversity, and animal liberation.

The Gardening Drawing Club has a shared mission to integrate the joys of gardening and drawing in others’ lives for individual and community well-being. It was founded in 2021 by artist Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck.

Adults and children may attend these workshops. It is essential that children under the age of 18 are accompanied and looked after by a carer.

About Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck
Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck (b.1990, Strasbourg, France) is a painter, transdisciplinary artist and cultural practitioner artist based in rural Oxfordshire (England). Her practice composed of painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, film, photography and writing often conceals ecological messages, rendered in soft and delicate methods. In several of the artist’s projects, interaction with the environment and others plays a central role.

Solo and duo exhibitions include Dreaming About Tomorrow at Nidi Gallery in Tokyo and Caring & Tender at Terrace Square Photo in Tokyo. Books on her practice have been published by InOtherWords Imprint, Chose Commune and Jane & Jeremy.

In 2014, Johanna founded the positive and collaborative cultural project Poetic Pastel. In 2018, the artist co-founded the publication series Journal du Thé – Contemporary Tea Culture. In 2021 she founded The Gardening Drawing Club. Johanna is currently leading a one-year project at Camden Art Centre involving arts, gardening and learning.
