Join designer Amanda Smith to look at Pattern and surface design using natural materials! Young designers will learn about shapes and motifs, repetition, and the basics of the elements of design through various surface design activities with nature-based materials. Amanda will guide the kids on an exploration of drawing, painting, hand-dying and block printing/stamping all as ways of creating surface design. From pressing flowers to making leaf prints, kids will learn both about patterns found in nature and how to use natural elements to create their own designs! Kids will have the chance to make their own patterns and designs on paper, fabric, and more!

Art supply fee - Please note that the cost of supplies is not included in the course fee; this amount depends on the course, and will be automatically added to your total. If this cost is prohibitive for you, please contact Stacey at [email protected] before registering to make alternative arrangements. 

Offline registration - We prefer to take payment and registration through this form, but if you are not comfortable with this option and it is more than 2 weeks before the course begins, please check the "Offline" box in the Billing Information section below. We will contact you with alternative payment options. Payment must be received at least one week before the course begins.  

Processing fee - This covers transaction and ticketing fees. We've decided to use Regfox, the most affordable ticketing platform we could find, which will collectively save our participants over $1000 in processing fees per year.

Policies and Waivers - We've included these as part of the registration process (thank you for your patience!) to save some paperwork on your end and get straight to art making on day one!
