NatureCraft is a maker space open to all, from the serious artist, to those with no art experience at all! We’ll experience timeless flow in a natural environment with guidance in creating meaningful objects out of natural found materials. Importance will be placed on the creative process as much as the final products, and on reconnecting with ourselves and the rest of the natural world.
Art in the Park is funded by Arts Council of the Valley through their Advancing the Arts Grant.
