Description:
As part of Striving for Resilience: Earth Day Fair join artist and botanist Sarah Nassif at her Weaving Water Workshop, a drop-in fiber art and indigo studio. Try your hand at weaving, spinning and indigo dyeing while exploring the hidden connections water creates in our daily lives. Learn about the unique features of Nine Mile Creek, the lakes and wetlands that feed into it, and how each of us is part of this watery network that flows into the fourth largest watershed on earth! Materials provided.
Nine Mile Creek Watershed District is excited to partner with Sarah for a special edition of her ongoing public art project. Weaving Water: The Water Where We Live is about our unique watershed and community wishes for those downstream from us.
