Discover nature through story, poetry, and art in our series of free Art Naturally programs. Using words and images, instruction and techniques you create an art piece inspired by the natural world to take home. Learn how to make your own paper in a machine shop (the Great Hall) that used to fix machines that made paper! For adults, teens, and children ages 6 and up (accompanied by an adult). Art materials provided.
