Art in the Garden

Join us for a free workshop honoring Día de los Muertos. You’ll decorate a wooden frame to hold a portrait or a special memory of someone. It doesn’t need to go on an altar, and all are welcome.

Start with seeds from seasons past or ones with personal meaning. Glue them on, add paint, or Mod Podge botanical images onto the wood.

This event is part of Art in the Garden. Critically and creatively engage with a diversity of artmaking techniques that open you up to deeper dialogue on place and your lived environments.

Not a scent-free space (essential oils used in class), though we ventilate and welcome masking/distancing.
