Nature Art

InspireArt Garden Studio will encourage you to open your eyes to the beauty of nature. You can paint, draw, make ephemeral art, or create a mandala with natural materials. You can explore the garden or be inspired by the forest in the National Park nearby. We will look at natural pigments and explore eco-dyeing, create individual works of art, and make a nature art journal.
