South Valleys Library Wednesday, December 14 1-2:30 pm
Celebrate winter festivities by making art sustainably. Artist Zoe Bray will guide participants in creating puppets using only upcycled and natural materials. We will rely on found objects to make our creations and use homemade organic glue. This workshop is open to humans of all ages and levels of skill.
Zoe Bray is a fine art painter and eco-artist. Her practice focuses on painting and drawing from nature, using traditional fine art techniques and experimenting with unconventional approaches.
This is the first in a series of monthly Nevadad Humanities presented events. |
