EARTH + SUN + WATER with Kim Meyers Baas
We invite families to participate in a unique creative experience, reveling in Ox-Bow’s natural environment through exciting art explorations. Families of all shapes and sizes will collaborate in the creative process, using materials like clay, cyanotype, and watercolor as a team and side-by-side. Stoke curiosity and build selfconfidence through creative thinking and artmaking in the great outdoors.
