SUMMARY:Painting the Wild with Watercolor
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time:\nFriday\, August 7\, 2026\, 9:00am–6:00pm\nSaturday\, August 8\, 2026\, 8:00am–3:00pm \nInstructor:\nSarah Kelly Hansen\nSarah is a Milwaukee based artist and an avid wanderer of Wisconsin’s woodlands. Hansen holds a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD)\, where she also teaches as an Adjunct Instructor. She has continued her artistic development through the Milan Mastery Program. Working in oil and mixed media\, Hansen creates paintings inspired by botanical forms and sunlit environments. Her work sits between representation and abstraction\, where recognizable blooms soften into expressive shapes and color. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Museum of Wisconsin Art (MOWA)\, in galleries across the United States and Canada\, and are held in private collections around the world. \nThe Course:\nStep into the meadows and forests of the field station for a hands-on watercolor experience. In this workshop\, you’ll explore the colors\, textures\, and light of the natural world\, translating what you see and feel onto paper. Guided techniques and imaginative prompts will help you capture the essence of things like wildflowers\, leaves\, and sunlight. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills\, you’ll take home not just your own watercolor creations\, but also a deeper connection to the patterns\, energy\, and beauty of the wild spaces around you. \nUseful materials to bring:\n\nfield clothing\nsturdy hiking boots (Boots for wet and muddy areas are strongly suggested.)\nrain gear\nwater bottle\ninsect and tick repellent could be helpful\, especially a head net\n\nLodging Accommodations & Food:\nThe workshop fee does not include overnight accommodations. However\, tent camping space on the property is available at no charge. Participants wishing to stay overnight in our Farmhouse may reserve a bed in a shared space at a cost of $20 per night. Bed space is limited so be sure to reserve early. Alternatively\, the Saukville Field Station can also provide you with a list of nearby places to stay. An optional catered lunch is provided at cost for an additional charge and will include vegetarian and gluten free options. Meal plan should be ordered at the time your registration is submitted. Contact fieldstn@uwm.edu for more information. \nWorkshop fee:\n$135. Available for 1.4 CEU. Not offered for college credit.\nCourse fee includes sketch book\, graphite pencil and travel set of basic watercolors and brush. \nRegistration:\nRegistration is now open!

SUMMARY:Survey of Wisconsin’s Algae
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time:\nFriday\, August 21\, 2026\, 9:00am–6:00pm\nSaturday\, August 22\, 2026\, 8:00am–3:00pm \nInstructor:\nDr Robert Pillsbury\, Emeritus professor of Biology at UW-Oshkosh. Dr. Pillsbury has taught Biology for 23 years\, with a focus on aquatic biology\, primarily Freshwater Phycology (the study of algae)\, Limnology\, Rivers Lakes and Wetlands\, and Biostatistics. He holds a PhD from Bowling Green State University\, where he focused on factors influencing the structure of benthic algal communities in acid lakes. \nThe Course:\nAre you interested in aquatic biology? Get to know a whole new world!! This field class will teach participants to: 1) sample algae by taking field trips to some interesting aquatic habitats\, 2) identify algae (useful skill for many aquatic positions)\, 3) learn the characteristics of ecology of major algal groups\, 4) learn how to use algae to assess environmental problems\, and 5) learn how to make permanent slides for your collection. \nThis course will look at the taxonomy and ecology of Mid-west algae with an emphasis on some important nuisance taxa. The lecture component of the class will cover the distinctions of the major algal groups and their role in the ecosystems. In the field component of the class\, we will visit a variety of local aquatic habitats to learn collections techniques. And back in the lab we will examine our sample using proper microscope techniques and identify our collected specimens with the use of taxonomic keys. Microscopes\, collecting equipment\, reference books and taxonomic keys will be provided to the students. \nClass Schedule:\nFriday 9 am – 6 pm & Saturday 8 am – 3 pm. Discussion\, individual study in the lab\, or social activities are available Friday evening. \nUseful materials to bring:\n\nfield clothing\, including sturdy hiking boots\nrain gear\ntick and insect repellent\nold shoes\, rubber boots\, waders\, etc. We will be spending about half our time outside collecting algae so be prepared to have footwear that will allow you to wade up to your shins.\nReference guides will be provided for your use\, but if you already have some algae identification guides and want to learn specifically how to use them more efficiently\, please consider bringing them. If you are looking for a good\, general\, easy to use book for learning the algae\, consider getting “How to Know the Freshwater Algae” by G.W. Prescott.\n\nLodging Accommodations & Food:\nThe workshop fee does not include overnight accommodations. However\, tent camping space on the property is available at no charge. Participants wishing to stay overnight in our Farmhouse may reserve a bed in a shared space at a cost of $20 per night. Bed space is limited so be sure to reserve early.
