Session 1

JUNE 13: Botanical Bookmarks & Sun Catchers

Create a beautiful bookmark and sun catcher using real, pressed botanicals. With clear plastic shapes and special glue, we'll incorporate items from nature to create our keepsakes.

JUNE 20: Paint Your Own Canvas (first day of summer!)

Create shapes on your own wrapped 8x10 cotton canvas using materials like tape and stickers to create white space. Then paint over top with acrylic paint, let it dry a little, and remove the shapes to reveal cool shapes & patterns.

JUNE 27: Sun Prints & Painted Frames

Gather objects with interesting shapes, set your special sun print paper in the sun for 3-5 minutes, then rinse with water to discover an amazing cyanotype art piece! Next, we'll paint a wooden frame to display your latest creation.

Session 2

JULY 25: Creating with Clay

Make pinch pots or whatever your heart desires! Each crafter gets 1/3 - 1/2 pound of white air-dry clay to transform into pots, shapes, or nature creations. This clay will fully dry over 5 - 7 days (in your home) and can be kept natural or painted.

July 18: Tumbled Rocks & Canvas Art

Using an assortment of colorful tumbled rocks and 8x10 wrapped canvas, we'll use gemstones and crafting supplies to create a bouquet of flowers or a nature-inspired scene. Use your imagination and make your own beautiful creation!

AUGust 1: Botanical Bookmarks & Sun Catchers

This was so popular that we ran out of supplies in June — so we’re doing it again!

Create a beautiful bookmark or sun catcher using real, pressed botanicals. With clear plastic shapes and special glue, we'll incorporate items from nature to create our keepsakes.
