Dive into the world of marine science and creativity with nature journaling workshops at the Waikīkī Aquarium! Join our new four-week program this fall led by artist Kate Righter alongside Aquarium staff. Participants will sketch and paint directly from live aquarium exhibits and museum specimens, discovering how to capture the colors, shapes, and patterns of marine life on paper. No prior art or science experience necessary.

Sign-up is for the full four-week series. Each class introduces a new art skill inspired by an ocean theme and builds on the previous week’s learning. All supplies are provided, and participants will go home with their own journals to continue exploring beyond the program.

Cost & Supplies:
• $40/member, $50/adult for the series
• Each participant receives their own journal
