Sebastopol Walks: Bark Rubbings

Let’s take a walk and make some bark rubbings. You will learn a skill you can use anywhere there is a tree, and you will take home some engaging art of your own. Tools—rice paper, oil pastels, push pins—will be provided. Then off we go to make bark rubbings from the trees around town. It is important that you wear work clothes and walking shoes. Please bring hand wipes, if you have any. This is an easy walk to four different spots in the downtown area, with pauses along the way to make the bark rubbings.
