Creating with Nature class offered in Kirkwood, MO

The class you’ve been waiting for starts soon !

CREATING WITH NATURE  You’ve been collecting interesting objects from nature….now do something amazing with them.  In the Creating With Nature class you will learn how I think about creating with natural objects and the processes I use to preserve, strengthen and combine the amazing bits of nature I find.  I will provide many natural objects, for students to work from, but you are highly encouraged to bring the natural objects that you respond to.  I will help you develop YOUR vision and create YOUR own artwork!  This class is only offered about once a year so don’t miss this opportunity!
