Raven Art Workshops are for budding artists, curious minds, and anyone who wants to get their hands dirty! We will spend our time creating intricate mixed media sculptures that reflect the complexity and beauty of the ecosystems surrounding Full Moon Rising Farm, near Double Bluff Beach. We will explore our place on the land with curiosity and wonder! Like the raven, we will comb our surroundings and collect materials from the wild. The kids will learn plaster casting techniques and incorporate their gathered materials with papier-mâché and plaster body-cast pieces to create compelling works of art. There will be an emphasis on free creative expression, experimentation, and play!

Calling mermaids, selkies, and sea-beings of all kinds!

We will collect treasures along the shore before hiking back through the woods to the farm. Once there, we will use our gathered materials to create intricate mixed-media sculptures. We will deepen our relationship to the Salish Sea through storytelling, making, and play!
