It's craft time at Mt. Cuba Center! Coming up in the next few weeks are some great opportunities to enjoy a variety of hands-on classes and take home something you've made. Each class draws on native plant material to inspire your creation.
The Leaf Impression Tile Project on Wednesday, September 21 ($40) starts with a walk in the woods to gather leaves from our native plants. Then you'll use them to make impressions for nature print tiles. The artwork will be fired and glazed at the instructor's studio, and returned in shining glory. There are morning and afternoon sessions - sign up for one or both.
Who doesn't love pop-up cards? Learn the basics of pop-up construction and use inspiration from the natural world to decorate fun moving cards in Nature-Inspired Pop-Up Cards (Friday, September 23, 10AM - 3PM, $35.) All materials and supplies will be provided.
I'll be leading the Make a Birdhouse Gourd class on Wednesday, September 28 (1-4PM, $20.) I've grown the gourds in my own garden and look forward to sharing ideas and seeing the creations you make. Please join me for the afternoon!
As always, reservations are required - we want to be sure that there are enough materials for all the classes. Call 302-239-4244 or visit http://www.mtcubacenter.org/. I hope to see you soon!
Sincerely,
Eileen Boyle
