Upcoming Classes and Workshops

Fruit Tree 101 with Wesley Crump of USU

$35.00

Wesley Crump is a USU Extension Assistant Professor in Wasatch and Summit counties focused on horticulture. We'll go over fruit tree selection, planting, and general care. We want to take the fear out of growing fruit trees!

Saturday, June 8th, 10-11:30am, at the garden (4056 Shadow Mountain Drive)

Intuitive Painting with Caro Nilsson

$45.00

This event will be a guided journey through intuitive painting, a method of art creation that centers on connection with self, presence, memory, sensation, and feeling. You will explore how feeling can be prioritized over the fact of how something looks, and how experimentation can be chosen over control. Over time, you will watch your pieces unfold and reveal themselves--a conversation between painter and painting. You will create work while learning tools and processes for creation as well as the relationship between color, form, and perception. Within these processes, endless variation and experimentation will happen.

Learn more about Caro Nilsson through her website here.

Thursday, July 11th, 6-8pm, at the garden (4056 Shadow Mountain Drive)

Watercolor in the Garden with Bridgette Meinhold

$60.00

Join local artist Bridgette Meinhold for an evening at the gardens to learn about watercolor painting in the outdoors. We will go over supplies, basic watercolor skills and how to transform what we see in nature into a memorable painting. We will learn how to take our time in nature, use our observational skills and how to take those impressions and turn them into art. This class will take advantage of the beautiful location of the gardens and the surrounding mountains will be our inspiration. This class is open to all skill levels and all are welcome, so bring your kids too!

Supplies:

Bridgette will provide all necessary supplies but feel free to bring your own as well. If people want to buy supplies, they can look here for my recommendations: https://www.bridgettemeinhold.com/workshops/watercolor-art-supply-recs

Please wear sunscreen and bring a hat as the sun will still be shining on us. Also bring water and snacks or other beverages if you would like.
