Nov. 11 – From Green into Gold
As the natural world says goodbye to the summer greens, what other colors and forms are revealed? Join us as we look closely at this in-between time of year. We will explore nature outdoors, look for gold, silver, and other changes in color and texture of trees and plant skeletons. Then weβll gather natural materials for art-making: twigs, leaves, seeds, nuts, and more. Indoors we will work with a variety of sculptural materials, like wire, strings, and metallic embellishments to create a Green into Gold work to take home!
