Botanical Arts

Cultivate creativity and curiosity and settle into the restorative power of botanical arts. Combine the art and science of observation in weekly artmaking inspired by plants in the greenhouse and garden. Learn meditative and mindful drawing, printmaking, and sculptural techniques to create works of art to celebrate the plants and flowers you feel most connected to.

This is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Spring Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse.
