Sheldrake’s newest offering encourages kids to view nature through the eyes of an artist. Using an assortment of media and keen observation, children will create a mix of enduring and ephemeral art inspired by the natural world around them. Whether learning watercolor techniques, crafting, or making a mandala out of forest materials, children will enjoy weekly projects, nature education, and time exploring our 60 acres. This program will be led by Susan Girling, a Sheldrake naturalist and botanical artist.
