Events and
Opportunities
Presenter: Winkie Covintree
Time: 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Fee: $7.50 per person and $20 per family or as able. Light refreshments provided.
Coordinator: Laura Scott
This is an afternoon workshop that provides an opportunity for individuals and families to make art together using some of the natural resources of Friends Lake. Adults and children accompanied by adults are welcome.
Each project is suitable for all ages. The first project is the construction of paper mache bowls. Young children usually like making big bowls, and these bowls made by layering paper mache inside a “bowl mold” can be made using almost any size. Please bring bowl(s) to use as molds, if possible. They will not be permanently contaminated! Extra bowls will be available as well. The second project, nature printing, uses objects from nature to experiment with and could result in personalized designs and note paper. These natural objects might be brought from home or collected at Friends Lake on the day of the program.
Winkie Covintree has been teaching art at Friends School in Detroit for the last nine years. She also teaches calligraphy workshops and classes, mostly to adults. She enjoys teaching basic concepts and techniques and then encouraging students (of all ages) to go their own way with them.
