What’s the Real Stuff?
|
| |
 | | Printmaking Design your own prints at the silkscreen station or try making a monoprint, collagraph or embossing at our intaglio press. |  | | | | | Papermaking Create your own paper using natural paper pulp and items such as flower petals, herbs, seeds and glitter. | | | | | |  | | Clay Explore with polymer clay in The Studio and see what you can make by hand or using tools. Take a clay class to make and paint a creation with natural clay and our Museum Artist will fire your piece in our kiln. | | | | | | Painting Choose your own color palette at the color mixing station, choose your brushes and let your muse take hold at a standing or sitting easel. | |  | | | | | | Self-guided Activities Try something new with our constantly rotating table activities, including mosaics, crayon resist, wire sculpture, paper collage, chalk drawing, and weaving. | | | | | | Demonstration Space Artists often visit the Museum to demonstrate their process. Some of our most recent artist demonstrators have thrown clay on a wheel, created unique cast jewelry pieces, or built a collaborative sculpture with visitors. | |  | | | | | |
