Wood, stones, bark and leaves.
With a little imagination, kids can create anything from the raw materials they find outdoors.
A new Livingston County non-profit art initiative’s first project hopes to tap into that creative energy.
The group, Raw Art, is establishing a new maker space for nature art at the Howell Nature Center. Over the past weekend, a group of local artists gathered at Schroeder’s Auto and RV Repair in Howell to paint a mural on a 35-seat bus.
They will convert the bus into a small maker space that will be permanently installed on the nature center grounds.
Schroeder’s offered to rip out the seats as a donation to the project. They are having wooden benches made and will stock it with art and crafting supplies.
The maker space bus is the first step toward Raw Art’s ultimate goal of a establishing a large maker space somewhere in the county.
