Join visiting artist Sergey Jivetin at the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum for a captivating live seed engraving demonstration that blends art and nature.

Visitors will see how tiny seeds, often overlooked, can be transformed into beautiful works of art through careful carving and delicate design. Children are invited to gather around and watch as Sergey demonstrates his carving techniques, showing how to use specialized tools to etch intricate patterns, shapes, or even miniature pictures onto different types of seeds.
This program emphasizes the importance of patience, precision, and creativity, fostering an environment where kids can express themselves freely. This activity is not only about engraving, but also about exploring the connection between nature and art, as the artist explains how each seed represents a piece of the natural world. This interactive and engaging experience sparks a love for art while connecting young learners to the beauty of nature.
