For generations, the sound of birdsong has offered reassurance — a signal that the world is in harmony. Listening to birds reduces stress, slows the heart, and restores calm. In this hands-on workshop, artist Ann Bach invites participants to explore the emotional resonance of birdsong through the art of tissue paper collage.
Guided by Bach, you’ll learn to express your sensory and emotional responses to the natural world using color, pattern, and composition. Drawing inspiration from Henri Matisse’s joyful cutouts and the expressive energy of Joan Mitchell’s abstract paintings, participants will create their own vibrant works that capture the spirit of nature’s music.
$75 for Non-Members and $50 for Members.
