These free nature journaling workshops are open to adults of all skill levels! Led by visual artist and designer Renee Hopson, this bring-your-own-material, loose workshop is meant to connect you and your craft to nature. Each workshop will have a different natural 'muse' to capture through watercolor designs.
For May's session, take a walk in the park and capture the beauty of the landscape! Working from observation, we will develop small color paintings of the prairie and woodland vistas.
FIRST-TIME REGISTRANTS: If you are a Centerville/Washington Township resident, please enter Dayton as your city when creating an account. The system WILL NOT recognize you as a resident if you enter Centerville or Washington Township as your city.
