Join us at Paul J. Shupf Art Center in downtown Waterville or at the Colby Museum on campus to celebrate the season with gorgeous bouquets created by The Robin’s Nest flower shop.
Two local florists will translate the works from Colby College Museum of Art’s collection into their medium. Sketching materials will be available on campus, and watercolor supplies provided downtown for those interested in capturing flower arrangements’ beauty on paper.
