Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Using stitches employed in Indian kantha and Japanese Boro stitching, we will completely refurbish a garment giving it a fresh, new look while meditating our way through stitches. This practice embraces a slow-making process, the love for gently worn, and repurposed materials. Ideal garments would be a nicely worn pair of jeans or jean jacket, a linen jacket, or vest. All levels are welcome.
Explore fascinating facts that a well-known local artist has learned in the process of creating stylized drawings of native Midwestern birds. You will be encouraged to see the birds in your backyard through new eyes and impress your friends with little-known aspects of bird biology. We will discuss relationships between birds and native plants, and gather tips to transform your yard into bird-supporting habitat.
