Claret Cup – Flowers of Zion Art Workshop

3 to 5:30 pm

This week in our Flowers of Zion art workshop series we are focusing on the Claret Cup Cactus.

The Claret Cup thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is commonly found within Zion National Park, growing in crevices and among rocks where moisture can accumulate.

The flowers of the Claret Cup Cactus are funnel-shaped and can reach up to 3 inches in diameter. They are typically bright red to crimson, which attracts pollinators such as hummingbirds and bees.

The Claret Cup Cactus’s vibrant colors and unique form make it a favorite subject for artists. Its striking appearance can be beautifully captured in various mediums.

Join us! Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting out, this workshop for adults offers a relaxed and supportive environment to develop your skills and creativity.
