In September 2023, Shhhbooks hosted Spanish illustrator and artist Jesús Cisneros in Istanbul for his five-day “Garden and Forest” workshop. Bringing together participants from different backgrounds, the workshop explored intuition, chance, control, drawing techniques, and the symbolic world of gardens and forests through ink, watercolor, oil, and mixed media practices. These images offer a glimpse into the atmosphere, process, and collective creativity that emerged throughout the week.
