Botanical Mixed Media: Winter Nature Art
4 weeks | 6 - Adult
Happy New Year!  We may still be in the dead of winter, but we'll take a closer look at what's stirring and showing signs of life in the natural world. Teacher Amanda will provide a workbook for you to collect your observations, samples, and sketches of the botanicals we can play with during this season.  Each week we'll learn more about what's growing around us and experiment with different ways to use these supplies for ART!  Weekly projects will include things like bird seed ornaments, framed botanicals, and 'yard debris' sculptures made from what we prune this time of year.
