About the event

Using a pointed scratchboard tool, students will etch a design into the black scratchboard, adding a dramatic touch. It's quite similar to using a pencil, so you can be confident in your abilities. Marie Essenberg will offer a variety of nature-inspired designs to choose from, and you'll leave with a unique, framed piece of art ready for display.
