Explore Art Through Nature
RTPI announces the launch of a new program – local artist Robin Zefers Clark will lead a six-week series of beginner watercolor workshops at RTPI, located at 311 Curtis Street in Jamestown. The workshops will take place on six consecutive Saturdays between September 12 – October 17. There will be two separate classes; a morning series from 10:00 – 11:30am and an afternoon series from 1:30-3:00pm. These will culminate in a month-long exhibition of the students’ work at RTPI.
Original Roger Tory Peterson botanical art from The Peterson Collection along with live and preserved plant specimens will be used to inspire students’ work. “Creating art within the walls of the Roger Tory Peterson Institute is a wonderful experience,” Robin says. “The resources for reference are close at hand and the galleries provide unlimited inspiration.”
