Help get the word out by making and wearing your own monarch butterfly wings!
Use fabric, paint, and other materials to make your own monarch wings then join Deschutes Land Trust, Base Camp Studio, and The Environmental Center to walk in a kaleidoscope of butterflies at the Earth Day Fair & Parade.
This drop-in wing making session will led by Base Camp Studio and Land Trust staff to help us on our journey to create and protect our butterflies.
Bring the whole gang or plan some quality time with a parent, child, grandparent, niece, friend… you get the idea! The studio is open for all ages to connect with others doing, creating, and protecting what we love. No art experience necessary. We will have all the materials you will need and a facilitator to help you get started in our journey!
