These gatherings are designed to get you into Nature and bring out that artsy side of you that loves to create. The Science Center offers a wonderful serene space to take a break and get together with others while making some beautiful art. We will gather inside and out but no need to bring a beach chair. A hat, sunscreen, and bug repellant might be useful!

Thursday August 15 - WILD ABOUT WOOD

Bring some local Nature to your wall, mantle, front door or wherever with these hand painted 5.5” square pieces of chunky wood. You can paint these 3 designs or whatever you choose. Three flowers from the garden. Three birds. Or mix it up with what you love most in Cape May. Before you paint, you’ll map out your designs on paper and then paint with acrylics on wood. Keep your designs simple and a bit abstract. A hanging bracket will be applied to the back and some clear all-weather varnish if you plan to put your pieces outside. Fond and pretty memories. 

All supplies will be provided. 

This is an adult class for participants 18 and over

Tickets are $25 or four classes for $80 and can be purchased here.

Peaches Lukens has been drawing and exploring the natural world since she could crawl or hold a crayon. She has been passionately journaling since her first Dear Diary at the age of 5. An avid Doodler, she just follows a creative flow that is fun and calming. Her children and grandchildren love looking through her particular art journals, some serious, some silly. Peaches lives on Cape Island with her husband Mike. They are knee-deep in rehabbing an old homestead, where she finds lots of wonderful stuff to draw and remember.
