Classes
Watercolors from Nature (Ages 9-11)
Create art with natural and found materials! We'll go on walks to gather materials. Then we'll make paintbrushes using outdoor materials, make a recycled paint palette, and make inks and bases with a mortar & pestle. After we have made our art supplies, we will make art using these creations like plant studies, portraits, and more!

About the Instructor
Sam Skrimpz
I am a trans non-binary muralist and arts educator. I love working with community to make big art together, and especially with queer youth. The art I make in my practice is playful and mystical, and largely inspired by my upbringing in the gulf south, but is now shifting with my trans identity. I work mostly in acrylic paints, and recently collage and gouache, and am looking forward to exploring more mediums.
