Creating in Nature’s Studio: Making Pigments from Native Plants with the Hunter Museum

Join the Hunter Museum for a guided hike at Reflection Riding to collect native plants and learn how to use them make natural dyes.

We are thrilled to collaborate with the Hunter Museum this summer and offer a series of programs to celebrate their new exhibit In Nature’s Studio: Two Centuries of American Landscape Painting that will deepen your understanding and connection to the artwork on display. 

On a guided hike at Reflection Riding, collect native plants and learn how to use them to make natural dyes. Then, create art by painting a colorful assortment of these nature pigments onto fabric! The landscape painting from the Hunter Museum’s special exhibition In Nature’s Studio: Two Centuries of American Landscape Painting will serve as inspiration for your creations.

Reflection Riding and Hunter Museum Members get a discount to programming. Free to youth 17 and under.

In Nature’s Studio is organized by the Reading Public Museum, Reading, Pennsylvania. Generously sponsored by Southeastern Trust Company. Marketing support provided by Chattanooga Tourism Company.

(This class is put on by the Hunter Museum which is a separate organization from Reflection Riding. Please direct questions about the class to the Hunter Museum at 423-267-0968)
