The Arts and Crafts movement was noted for its nature-derived patterns. Elaine Searle is your guide in this Wellesley College Botanic Gardens fun expansion of your art. On the first Saturday, July 26, look at historical references and learn how to simplify a botanical form to make a pattern repeat. Work up your unique pattern in between classes. On the second Saturday, August 2, learn about restricted color palettes and use gouache paint (supplied) to work up your design. Elaine will offer an email critique of your final work. WCBG Friends – $225; non-members $280. Register at 781-283-3094, or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
