Pre-registration is required for this in-person program for adults and there is a fee to attend ($15 members, $17 non-members). Please register online here.
The Art of Science series is for adults who like to blend science and art. Each program will include hands-on experience with a citizen science project paired with an associated art project. Participants will take home their project and tools so they can make additional projects on their own.
In this program, we will explore moths for National Moth Week before we carve rubber blocks and print them! Instructions for collecting moth data and making your own block printed moths (or any other wildlife you’d prefer!) will be provided during the program — no experience required. Your program fee covers two rubber blocks, blank cards to print, some printmaker’s paper for making art prints, and your carving tools, all of which you will keep. We have an optional printing kit available for $15 that includes a bottle of block printing ink, a rubber brayer (roller), and a plexiglass printing sheet that will enable you to make more prints at home. You may purchase the add on kit here though July 7.
This program is intended for adults and will be conducted entirely outdoors. Please come prepared for a short walk over uneven terrain by wearing sturdy closed-toed shoes and dressing for the weather. Long pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunscreen are recommended for our citizen science data collecting time.
