The frame is placed over the paper, on which you have arranged leaves and other nature materials in an original design. Dipping a brush in watercolor and scrubbing the screen, small droplets fall on the paper to create a delicate image. The resulting picture can be framed, or used to make cards or gift boxes. This craft project works well for adults, but you may also want to try it with your children at home! Materials fee of $4 payable to instructor the night of class.
Wednesday, October 7 6:30-9:00 p.m. $10**
