Highlights of the Fall Festival Include:
Gelli Printing Project: Dive into the beauty of fall foliage with a leaf printing station where you can create unique, nature-inspired prints to take home.Gelli Plate Printing uses a gelatin plate to print onto paper. The process is easy as the paint is put on the gelli surface, spread out with a brayer then a variety of stencils and other objects such as leaves are placed on the gelli plate. The stencil leaves a texture or pattern on the gelli plate that is transferred to what you are printing on. Learn more about the nature and trees specific to the area!
Landscape Painting: During this workshop, festival guests will learn how to paint their own watercolor paintings our sculpture park. Learn how to capture the fall foliage here at RoCA through watercolor painting, no matter your skill-level - kids and adults welcome! All guests will be able to take home their own finished painting by the end of this 45-minute workshop, which will run periodically throughout the day
Collaborative Fall Mural: Contribute to a collaborative giant mural of the map of the grounds that will evolve throughout the festival as each guest adds their own artistic touch. By the end of the festival, RoCA will present the final mural for all to see and remember!
