ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Have you ever hunted for pretty stones? Have you ever tried to paint on them? Join us as we make stones into artworks. Go and find a suitable stone from a garden or park, and our instructor will help you paint on it.

Nature is a source of inspiration for artists. The changing colors of the seasons, animals whispering in the woods, and the rich smell of the trees and the soil all serve as sparks to our imagination… The multicolored, multitextured objects found in nature make the best materials for handicrafts. In the “Touching Nature”, we will use resources from nature and recycled materials to create our art works.
