Concept
Let’s dig into the wonders of our planet! In this fun, hands-on workshop, young artists explore rocks, crystals, and fossils through creative projects. Kids will make textured clay fossils, paint sparkling crystal-inspired watercolors, and sculpt their own tiny mountains and volcanoes. Along the way, they’ll learn about the layers of the earth, erosion, and the swirling colors of agate slices using marbled painting techniques. Get ready to create, explore, and discover the magic of geology through art!
