Celebrate art in nature with a creative workshop where young artists transform rocks and driftwood into expressive characters inspired by stories, emotions or self-portraits. Participants will also build and decorate a special “home” for their creations.
For ages 12-15. Space limited. First come, first serve.
Look for the Bookmobile near the intersection of John F Kennedy Drive and Conservatory Drive West.
