Join a special mosaic making workshop in the MakerSpace. Professional artist Roberta March will begin the artmaking process by drawing inspiration from the incredible lives of native birds. Attendees will use colorful, smoothed glass to make patterns and designs on wooden bird bases. Take time to engage in the joy of the creative process, use beautiful materials, and share in the inspiration of the natural world.
Each ticket purchases the opportunity to make one mosaic bird. One adult may accompany a child free of charge. A separate ticket should be purchased if an adult would also like to make a mosaic. Birds can be taken home at the end of the workshop without grout. Alternatively, the Museum & Theatre will grout the birds to finalize the mosaic process, and then the family can pick them up during the next two weeks following the workshop.
$50 per ticket/mosaic. The ticket price includes the price of materials. Members receive a 10% discount.
