Description

Internet Registration has not begun yet. Check Registration Dates in details.

Unleash your creativity with Nature Maker Art sessions led by Liita Forsyth—an artist, naturalist, and teacher from The Little Bits Workshop. Experience the wonders of nature firsthand at Lake Ellyn, and then delve into art classes inside the Boathouse. During the spring session, we will make a walking stick. Whittling techniques will be used to shape it before sanding, staining, and varnishing. We will add a leather strap at the top and finish it by painting a few of the wildflowers that are emerging, the birds that are migrating, or other beauties of the natural world.
