About this Event
We invite you to explore with us together in a journey of discovery, The Colors of the Earth. With our senses open we will see, smell, and embrace the different tonalities that our earth and this life have given to us. Our hands will feel and experiment with the various tints of flower petals, spiraling citrus peels, the flour of our ancestors direct from the kitchen, and of course the paint brush to materialize your ideas.
Date: Saturday June 1st
Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location: MUSE Arts Creative Lab at Earlscourt Park (1369B St Clair Ave West)
