Art Naturally: Painting with Inks from the Garden

Discover nature through story, poetry and art in our series of free art programs. With instruction and technique, you create an art piece to take home. Do you grow red cabbage? Are squirrels leaving acorn caps all over your yard? Do you like to cook with onions? You can make ink with these natural ingredients! Learn how “pigment practitioners” are making ink and then use ink that we have already made to draw or paint small art pieces suitable for framing or greeting cards. For adults, teens, and children ages 6 and up. Free. All art materials provided. Meet in the Great Hall at 10:30 a.m. for complete instructions.
