Discover the Workshop
Discover the magic of the colors, textures, and patterns all around us as we create amazing works of art with natural materials! We explore nature’s chemistry by grinding pigments to paint with, layering landscapes into vibrant collages, transforming dried flowers into glowing sun catchers, and dyeing fabrics with botanical sun prints. Along the way, children find inspiration in Andy Goldsworthy’s stunning nature sculptures and Yayoi Kusama’s fantastical mushrooms.
At the end of the week, we celebrate our creations in a student art show, sharing the rich colors, patterns, and wonders of nature that we captured in our art.
