Workshop II: Birds — Saturday, July 26

Workshop III: Local Botanicals — Saturday, August 23

Join us for a series of three nature-inspired classes designed for adults and youth ages 15 and up. These hour-and-a-half workshops will focus on the skill of close observation, a vital gift of drawing from life, which connects the visual arts with the sciences. Each workshop provides an opportunity to explore the natural world while learning to create detailed illustrations that could contribute to community science projects.

Throughout these workshops, the emphasis is on learning how to see the natural world through a new lens. Drawing from observation will enhance participants’ attention to detail, fostering a deeper connection between art and science while contributing to the understanding of our local environment.

Participants are welcome to attend one or all workshops, and all sessions are free.

Registration is required. Please contact the Circulation Desk (in person, 802-254-5290, circ@brookslibraryvt.org) to register by Monday, July 14.
