Wings of Autumn

Intended Audience: This program is designed for adults and children ages 10 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Program Description: Explore the vibrant transitions of birdlife in September, when summer residents take flight and fall visitors arrive. Using a mix of natural materials, upcycled items, and paint, you’ll create your own unique wall art that captures the essence of the season. Whether you’re a bird enthusiast, an eco-conscious artist, or simply love getting crafty, this class is perfect for all skill levels. You’ll leave with a beautiful, personalized piece ready to hang in your home, and a deeper appreciation for Ohio’s seasonal rhythms.
