Celebrate the Nest Grand Opening at MABA Education Center

April 24, 2024

Find or deepen your connection to art and nature at The Nest, the new community gathering space, maker space, and art studio at the Museum of American Bird Art in Canton. During this free opening celebration, people of all ages can participate in a variety of creative activities inspired by the natural world.

Save Your Spot

Activities

Among the nature-inspired activities, you can:

  • Create nature-themed monotype prints using different inks, materials, and custom stencils of flowers, wood frogs, butterflies, owls, and more.
  • Make custom buttons out of monotype prints to wear and take home.
  • Design and create your own hand crafted and custom nature journal.
  • Go on a self-guided journaling activity walk that will teach you how to create quick landscape sketches out on the trail.
  • Take a tour of the maker space tools like the laser cutter and cutting machines.
