The Dungeness River teems with small insect life living under the rocks! Learn all about this hidden world by developing art and nature journaling skills along the shores of the Dungeness River. The class will cover a short natural history lesson on river ecology and an art lesson with expert instructor and local artist Robert Amaral. Following the lesson we will head outside and practice nature journaling, art, and observation skills! All skill levels are welcome.
This class is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the river and receive personalized art instruction. Bring a lunch or snacks and dress in comfortable layers. The coffee shop will be open.
