August-October 31; March 15-June
From the creek to the art studio, this program explores all things clay! Students will learn the procedures of hiking to the creek to harvest clay from natural creek beds and processing it in an art studio. This is a hands-on program that includes an uphill hike (weather permitting), so come prepared to get your hands dirty and your body moving! Programs in the Arts in the Natural World series seek to demonstrate intersections between the arts and the world around us. This program only operates in warmer months (August-October 31; March 15-June). All multi-grade program offerings will be supported by grade-level appropriate standards, available to share upon request.
