Join artist Rachel Mirus in practicing observational drawing techniques that can quiet the mind and encourage being wholly present in nature.

In this short workshop, we'll practice drawing techniques inside with a variety of materials for every ability level. Weather permitting, we'll move outside for a nature walk and en plein air drawing. (If not, the museum's bird-in-habitat exhibits are available.)

All materials provided, but participants are encouraged to bring any natural objects they wish to draw or share. You are welcome to bring any materials you prefer. Rachel also provides materials, but sometimes people have preferences and she support students using what they are comfortable with.

Minimum: 4 participants • Maximum: 15
Ages 13 and up • Bring a friend! You are welcome to enjoy your lunch here at the museum after the workshop.

Cost: Choose from a sliding scale.
