Juneau youth ages 8 and up are invited to explore their wild side with a weeklong “Creating your own animal identity” workshop at The Canvas Gallery & Studio starting Monday.

Artist Lindsay Carron, who splits her time between Alaska and Los Angeles, will guide kids to discover the animal identities inside of them. Students will go on hikes with Carron and learn how to draw their favorite animals through her guidance.

Cost for the workshop, which takes place from 9 a.m.-noon Monday-Friday, costs $125. Students should dress comfortably and bring their own snacks. All other materials are provided.

Carron most recent artistic focus has been on Alaska. She illustrated three children’s books recounting traditional tales for Sealaska Heritage Institute and was most recently on a residency with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in 2016.
