Guest Artist Anouncement!

Artist Nikita Gill will run a gently guided session inspired by the Carnivalesque, finding a soothing peace in the spirit of Native Caribbean botanical drawing. 

Instruction
Enjoy drawing flora and fauna of the savanna and create your own carnival masquerade mask to take home and display, or use in a costumed celebration of your choosing. (What celebrations in your culture allow you to play dress-up for the night?)

Themes for drawing:

• Themes of abundance
• Desert blossoming
• Bursting into life
• Untamed Nature
• Freedom to bloom
• fleeting, potential, renewal
