Program Description

Event Details

Discover local wildlife as you create beautiful compositions with simple materials! Participants will design their own cardstock cutouts of plants and animals, then transfer the images to paper by rubbing with coloured crayons. As the images and colours are layered, the scene springs to life. Each participant will take home a completed masterpiece, and techniques learned in this workshop can easily be repeated at home.
