DIRTY ART: FORAGING FOR WILD CLAYS AND PIGMENT-RICH SOILS

Sunday, November 2^nd 9am-12pm

Come look for and learn about wild clays near the American River. We will go out to forage wild clay, investigate some of the different soil types in the area, learn about clay processing, discuss indigenous clay uses in the area, and discover soil pigments for watercolor painting. This event is led by Jacqueline Royer, an environmental scientist for the Lahontan Water Board and a natural arts enthusiast who is excited to share a bit of her knowledge. Be prepared for a short walk along the river and a bit of digging. Rain or shine. Ages 10+ welcome. Meeting location TBD: Coloma area.  Suggested donation: $10/members/$15/non-members. A detailed email will be sent once you register online at REGISTRATION LINK
