Back by popular demand! Before we had access to Google and email, botanists created herbarium sheets to study and share plants. In this two-part workshop, discover the history, science, and art in creating herbarium sheets with Dr. Jeff Masters, Department of Biology at University of Louisville, and make an original piece of art based on flowers in your own garden.
In our first session, we’ll get an overview of the traditional usage of herbarium sheets, how to select your specimens, and inexpensive ways to press flowers. You’ll bring your dried specimens to the second session, and we’ll create inspired works of art documenting your floral surroundings.
Ticket fees include all workshop supplies – you’ll supply the dried flowers.
Please keep in mind that all ticket purchases are final sale. Tickets are non-refundable and non-exchangeable but do feel free to share your ticket with someone else if something comes up and you can’t make it.
All programs and events are rain or shine.
