Using a botanical palette of paints made from plants and fuits and foraged materials from our own backyards, we will build and decorate birds. Participants are asked to bring foraged materials from their yard which will act as characteristics of each bird. Finished birds can be put into the oven at home for 1/2 hour at 200 degrees and it will bake the clay to completion.
All Ages | Children under 5 must have an adult helper present
