Brush & Beak

Brush & Beak logo

Brush & Beak is a workshop series at Edith L Moore Nature Sanctuary.  Participants will study bird anatomy, feathers, and field marks while trying different artistic techniques.  Classes will utilize preserved bird specimens, photos, and art prints for reference. Participants in each 2-hour workshop will create a work of art to take home with them.  This series is geared towards adults, all artistic skill levels are welcomed. 

Although we will provide all materials, participants are welcome to bring their preferred supplies if desired.  Unless otherwise noted, each session is $35 for Houston Audubon members and $45 for nonmembers. If you have any questions, please contact Nature Programs Manager Amber Leung at aleung@houstonaudubon.org
