Arts at the Library: Moss Art Workshop for Adults

This moss art workshop will explore the use of natural materials to create an assemblage landscape painting. Moss Art uses art materials found in nature to create one-of-a-kind compositions. In this art-making experience, personal expression will be encouraged to create a work of art that is either abstract or realistic. 

All materials will be provided: The instructor will supply a diverse range of natural materials, including moss, bark, vines, twigs, leaves, flowers, ferns, butterflies, and bees. These can be incorporated into a framed surface, and hot glue and wood glue are also available.
