The Artist Series sessions are conducted by volunteer Dusty Lynn Baker, instructor and Beck's Mill Resident Artist.

The cost is $15 for the session.  All proceeds benefit the mill, minus supplies.

The artist series, which has been running April to October, offers a blend of artistic activities as participants learn the history and myths of Beck's Mill. Participants explore chosen sites while expressing their hidden talents through creative writing, sketching, painting, music, collage and more.

Attendees also learn about the history of the mill, the science of the water source, the botany (from natives to Essie's imports), as well as the culture and myths surrounding the county's local treasure.

The public is invited to attend.
