Join us for a free workshop with Visiting Artist Mara Baldwin! This adult workshop will focus on observational and interpretive drawing, combining watercolor and colored pencil techniques in a session on botanical illustration. Participants will explore the relationship between observation, memory, and improvisation—echoing themes in Baldwin’s exhibition and offering creative tools accessible to all skill levels.

This workshop is offered free of charge as part of Garrison Art Center's Visiting Artist program. Please notify us immediately if you can no longer attend so we may offer your spot to another community member. 

Join us for a free workshop with Visiting Artist Mara Baldwin! This family workshop will invite participants to create small bark boats inspired by the artist’s research and materials. Held on Garrison Art Center’s riverfront property, this session will include gathering natural debris from the banks of the Hudson River and assembling boats using wax, knotting, and lashing techniques. This activity draws from camp traditions and highlights themes of resourcefulness and imaginative play.

This workshop is for children ages 6 and up and an adult member of their family. This is not a drop-off workshop. All children need to have at least one adult registered with them. Please sign up each family member individually.
