Fall is a wonderful season for being inspired by nature and to cozy up crafting. Explore crepe paper hand-building techniques and color application to make paper mushrooms this November. Use paper, pastels, paint, moss, tree rings and adhesive to create small mushroom scenes to adorn your tabletop, mantle, or windowsill. This workshop takes place in the greenhouse and is taught by local artist Betany Porter.
