A rock palette with paints, color tests and items found in nature

Nature’s Palette

Instructor: Josh Hummel
Monday-Friday, 9-11:30AM
Tuition: $195
Location: MSS Marble Works

Campers will bring the outside into the art studio to create their own assortment of natural art supplies! While gaining inspiration from the outdoors, we will explore the creative process of using materials found in nature. We will be learning and experimenting with natural pigments from plants and minerals to make inks and paints. Using local clay, we will create vessels for our eco-art supplies and crafting sticks to use as pens and paint brushes. Campers will experience the art of letting go by creating ephemeral pieces of art that may be naturally weathered back into their environment. Ages 7-11
