Be sure to check out some of their creative creations on display at the Boone County Fair, beginning June 22 in the Lutes Floral Hall, as part of the 4-H Cloverville exhibits.

Using leaves and flowers, participants in our "Cyanotypes on Fabric" program created a photographic image without a camera! Cyanotypes (or sun prints) are a simple way to capture botanical forms and create compelling pieces of art.

Registration for our next Community Arts program, "Immersion Dyeing with Natural Colors" will open on July 2nd at 9 AM. So be sure to mark your calendars, spots fill up quickly!
