Nature Inspired Art & Craft Day

Discover the joys of using natural materials to create beautiful art and crafts.

We'll forage for natural objects like leaves, twigs, and pine needles to make our own paintbrushes and stick frames. Explore different textures and patterns as we paint with our unique brushes! Then get crafty with paper & scissors to create vibrant tulips for a touch of spring.

No experience necessary and all materials will be provided. This is a free come and go as you please event for all ages. We do strongly recommend at least thirty minutes and children must be accompanied by an adult. Register at https://www.mycountyparks.com/County/Marion/Events so we can provide enough materials.
