Nature’s Canvas: Art Class for Kids at East End Food

On Oct. 27, East End Food invites children to an enchanting Autumn Art Adventure, Nature’s Canvas: Art Class for Kids with Melissa Pressler. The class, led by artist and teacher Melissa Pressler, will guide young artists on a creative journey through the captivating colors of fall. Using dried leaves and delicate flowers, children will craft their own paper mache jack-o’-lanterns, bringing the spirit of autumn to life.

The class will take place under the big tent at East End Food Market in Riverhead. As the crisp air and golden leaves swirl outside, the little artists will channel their inner pumpkin-patch magic to sculpt, paint, and decorate their seasonal masterpieces. In addition, they’ll add a magical finishing touch by placing a soft, warm LED light inside their jack-o’-lanterns, casting a cozy, autumnal glow that will illuminate their artwork.

East End Food events offer exclusive opportunities to connect with the community through demonstrations, workshops and talks with local leaders. East End Food is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to support, promote and advocate for local farmers and producers, while ensuring everyone can enjoy and be nourished by local food.

Note: The cost of the class is $10. For more information and tickets, visit the East End Food website.
