About the Event
This series will walk you through the “how tos” of three different natures based folkart projects, cyanotypes, flower crowns and one surprise experience. We will then embark on a journey to collect items needed and craft together. You will leave with completed projects to utilize yourself or share with friends and family. You will feel confident recreating these pieces of art for years to come!
This series includes these 3 classes:
- July 23: Folk Prints: Printing with Sunlight- Create ethereal images out of natural found items, to share or keep for yourself.
- September 22: Flower Crown Workshop- Celebrate the Autumnal equinox by creating a wearable flower crown in honor of the bounty of summer.
