@ Location Cost Register Online Join us for a five-week course that invites students on a creative journey into the world of nature-based art in honor of spring! Young artists will explore the sculpting of wild clay, willow weaving, creating natural fiber paper and making their own paint from nature’s palette. Students will work with diverse natural materials to support creative problem solving, deepen connections to the land and bring their ideas to life through a series of projects. Blending hands-on artmaking with movement games and collaborative activities, this class fosters experimentation, cooperation, and self-expression. Students will build skills and confidence in a welcoming, supportive space that celebrates creativity and artistic exploration!
