Science and art belong together — and this full-day workshop is proof. Join natural history artist and Burke Museum Ornithology Collections Manager Madison Erin Mayfield for a hands-on introduction to the field of scientific illustration.
You'll work with graphite, pen and ink, and watercolor to sketch natural specimens, practice observational drawing, and explore how scientists use visuals to communicate their work. Open to all skill levels — no prior experience required.
Your registration includes museum admission, all workshop materials, and a kit of pencils and pens to take home. The day includes a 30-minute lunch break; feel free to bring a packed lunch or grab something nearby. Ages 18 and up. Limited to 15 participants.
