Catherine Brassard: Slate Coaster Painting
Participants will be guided to recreate their favourite butterfly, or flower from the gardens onto a keepsake slate coaster. Participants could even use an image right from their camera. Once dry it will be sprayed with a clear varnish, making it washable and protected. The artist can quickly sketch out the image for any hesitant novice and guide them through the painting process. A family would be able to make a set for themselves or an individual can leave with one of a kind keepsake.
