A winter river murmurs outside the studio windows while scissors and patterned paper click under careful hands. Inside a bright room on Estes Park’s Riverwalk, participants trace the dark values of elk, moose, and fox photographs and translate them into layered paper forms. The Big Thompson River dares you with its rush; the Rockies loom in light beyond the storefront, a constant, composed presence.

Estes Park began as a mountain gateway for early tourists and anglers in the late 19th century; today the town balances outdoor culture with small creative businesses. The workshop borrows a similar spirit—hands-on craftsmanship meets natural history—using black-and-white photographs of native Colorado wildlife to teach value, shade, and composition.
Expect a calm, guided class suitable for all skill levels. Instructors provide pre-printed images, a wide selection of patterned papers, tools, and a frame for a finished 8x10–ish piece. The workbench is practical: cutting, layering, and arranging until the animal asserts its shape.
Practical notes: arrive 5–10 minutes early, bring any personal photo you want converted to black-and-white, and wear comfortable clothes that can handle glue. The space is wheelchair accessible and located two doors down from the Historic Park Theatre on the Riverwalk, making it an easy add-on to a day of hiking or wildlife viewing. This is a low-impact, creative souvenir that deepens an appreciation for Colorado’s animals without disturbing them—an indoor moment that still feels very much of the outdoors.
