Second Saturday–Fun with Fibers

Start Time: 09:00 AM
Date: 2011-01-15
End Time: 12:00 PM

Many different plants around the world provide fibers that humans have long used for a variety of purposes, from weaving cloth to weaving baskets.  In this workshop, learn about plants that provide fibers, visit the fiber garden, then don goggles and aprons to experiment with different types of plants to find out whether local plants contain useful fibers.  This activity will get messy, so wear old clothes!

 Reservations required.  Please call the office at 692-2874 to reserve space for your family!

Cost is $5 for members and children and $8 for nonmember adults.

Ages 6 and up; children must be accompanied by an adult.
