Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast is delighted to host the Sarasota Nature Printers and their exhibit, Nature’s Artistry. Nature printing is an ancient art form that uses a variety of techniques to create art from materials found in nature. The Sarasota Nature Printers are a local chapter of the Nature Printing Society and meet monthly, October through March, creating nature prints on various substrates including paper, fabric, clothing, linens, silk, rugs, tile, wood, leather, and clay.
