Drawing from Nature: Dragonflies & Damselflies
JULY 11 - In this workshop, we’ll spend some time outdoors marveling at dragonflies and damselflies, making our own observations. After our inspiration, we’ll head indoors to sketch, ink, and paint from specimens from VTSU Castleton’s Dragonfly/Damselfly collections. Perhaps a Haiku, or two, or ten will emerge by the end of the workshop, along with some elegant renditions of these creatures soaring through our nature journals.
Incredible Insect Festival
JULY 11 - Visit with The Caterpillar Lab as they showcase a wide selection of native caterpillars. Learn about the importance of pollinators while you meet a local beekeeper and get up close and personal with invertebrates of all shapes with Uncharted Wild. Through demonstrations, exhibits, games and crafts, enjoy a fun day discovering the incredible insects we share our planet with.
