Painting on Nature (sliding scale)

🎨 Paint on Nature! With Tony aka @blackoutdooromnivore
Let’s ditch the canvas and paint on some wild stuff! Join Tony for a laid-back creative session where you’ll get to paint on seashells and small animal hides. Yup, we’re making art on nature’s own surfaces—and you’re invited to bring your own creative spin. Found objects from nature are highly encouraged, so feel free to bring your own shells, stones, sticks, or whatever inspires you, but we’ll have plenty around for you if you don’t bring any.

Tony will be sharing his personal art-making practice—creating with intention and heart. The idea? Make something beautiful with someone else in mind: a friend, a loved one, a community member, or even someone going through a tough time. Make it as a gift. Or, if you absolutely love what you make, keep it! There’s no wrong way to participate.

Tony will have examples of past pieces he’s painted (with heartfelt messages on the back!) to help get the creative juices flowing. All supplies provided, and you’re welcome to bring other art or craft projects to work on or mix in.
