Capture the Sun!
Summer Botanical Suncatchers with Laurel Wolfe
June 8 | 9 am
Ages 7 and up
Learn how to make eco-friendly zero-chemical suncatchers. They not only capture the sun, but they take on new personalities on cloudy cold days too. They will move and change shape along with the elements coming through your windows. On hot days, they’ll wiggle and warp. On cold days, they’ll hug their shoulders and say, “brrrr!” Not just for windows, make a bunch and make a mobile!
In this workshop you’ll walk our lawn and summer gardens and choose your own botanical ingredients for your catchers. Then you’ll put them together as you want them to be. Imagine and make any picture you fancy. You’ll go home with your own botanical treasure, plus full instructions for how to easily do more at home at any time, while learning a little plant science along the way.
When you make them at home, will you have to spend on lots of crafting supplies?
No - the only bought element for these is low-cost powdered gelatin from the grocery store. Otherwise, all-natural ingredients you collect yourself - earth-friendly.
A very fun workshop for families or individuals from age 7 through 107 and beyond. Rain or shine. All materials are provided.
Cost is $10 per person if you are a member, or $15 for non-members, or $25 for families (members) and $30 for families, (non-members).
