Botanical Mixed Media: It's Earth Month!
5 weeks | 6 - Adult
Earth Day is April 22nd, and we'll be celebrating all month!  The sprouts and trees are wide awake now and there are so many flowers to play with. Teacher Amanda will show you how to dry what's blooming so we can look more closely at nature's amazing beauty. You'll even get to make and keep your own drying rack! 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 identification and preservation, flower dangles, and 'yard debris' sculptures made from what we can harvest this time of year.
