Step into the magic of the natural world through Botanical Alchemy. In this relaxing, sensory-rich workshop, students will create a nature mandala on a cotton banner using hand-dyed fabric and seasonal botanicals. We'll explore color, composition, and intuitive design as we work with plants to make something meaningful. You'll leave with a one-of-a-kind hanging artwork and a renewed sense of connection to nature, and yourself. All materials provided, but students are welcome to bring personal botanicals to infuse their story into the piece.

Notes:

$15 materials fee to be paid to instructor. Includes: prepped 22" x 22" cotton banner dried/preserved/ fresh botanicals, dye, and take-home packaging. Students may bring their own botanicals for added personalization.
