Nature’s Creatures: Eco Sculpture Workshop

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the natural world by creating your own unique eco sculpture using materials sourced directly from nature. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll use an array of natural elements—sticks, leaves, palm fronds, seed pods, vines, and more—to design and craft a one-of-a-kind creature that could almost be alive! Whether you're looking to create a whimsical animal for your garden, a mystical creature for your bedroom, or a stunning decoration for your fence, this workshop will guide you through the process of transforming simple natural materials into intricate, expressive sculptures.

What you’ll do:

Learn how to gather and select materials from nature to best suit your sculpture.
Explore techniques for shaping, binding, and attaching natural elements.
Use your creativity to design a creature, from an insect to a fantastical animal or abstract form.
Take home your finished piece to display in your garden, on your fence, or in your home.

No experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and a love for the environment! By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a stunning eco sculpture that celebrates the beauty and versatility of the natural

world.
