Red Barn Sunday Fun Day: Explorations in Papermaking

Access

About

Catherine Shapiro and Jenn Pearson will use plants from our Red Barn Garden and show us how to create paper from scratch with the addition of marigold petals and other plants.

Victory Gardens for Diversity: recipes for community-based ecological engagement is an artist residency project at Terra Nova Rural Park. Our team includes lead artist, Lori Weidenhammer, Lois Klassen, Crystal Lee, Jenn Pearson, Catherine Shapiro, and Lori Snyder.

Red Barn Sunday Fun Days will feature members of the Victory Gardens for Diversity Team who will lead demonstrations out of the Terra Nova Red Barn. The audience will be seated outside and must register ahead of time due to social distancing protocols. We will limit demonstration events to 10 participants and will document the workshops on our blog.

***Participants will be required to wear a mask and comply with the COVID-19 safety plan for the duration of the event.***
