Bamboo, leaves, branches, flowers, pods and other wonders of nature are the inspiration and the

materials for this spontaneous collaborative artistic expression. Join in, get creative, learn, and

have a blast while appreciating and honoring nature in a new way.

From 3-4 Saturday, Zach will host a workshop in the Nature Sculpture Arena:

"Engagement and Education Through Art Making in and With Nature."

This hands-on workshop for participants of all ages will convey some techniques for using group nature sculpture events as a tool for imparting a sense of discovered knowledge, releasing creative energy, arousing a sense of delight in nature, and inspiring collective action.
