Fridays

It's a floral frenzy!
Harvest and press wildflower blooms, make leaf prints and petal perfume, and learn how to weave a daisy chain.

Explore your sense of touch!
Take impressions with clay, make wax rubbings, notice natural patterns, and try printing with a pinecone.

Make some Fantastical Forest Friends!
Construct a fairy house, macrame a gem holder, carve a gnome, and concoct pond-water potions.

Make your own Rainbow!
Scrape, smash, stamp, and steep natural objects to make paints, inks, and dyes. Test them out in your "Artfolio" with a nature paintbrush.

Join us for a Junk Jam!
Thump, shake, and scrape a collection of recyclables to make a new kind of music. Help us set up a music tree, use found objects to make noise makers, and map all the sounds you can hear.

Pull out your favorite pieces!
Build exhibits, assemble portfolios, and write artist bios to be displayed in next week's end of summer art show.

Try a variety of art mediums!
Make projects from natural objects; paint, wrap, weave, and decorate to turn ordinary sticks and stones into beautiful homemade treasures.

Celebrate the Sun!
Play with light and shadow, explore the science magic of cyanotypes, design a sun mask, and use solar heat to make suncatchers.
