Thursday, August 1                                 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm  

Wildwood Park                                            $45 per participant   

Design a unique cotton pillow cover (18” x 18”) using flowers and leaves from Wildwood Park. Natural dyer Carol Reed will lead participants on a short walk to forage plant material at the Park before returning to the Olewine Pavilion where participants can choose from additional flowers and herbs from her garden. Create a design with your gathered materials and use a hammer to pound color, petals and leaf shape and veins into the cloth. Create a one-of-a-kind memory of a place and a time. A pillow insert will also be given to each participant. Program will occur outdoors; participants should meet at the Olewine Pavilion located near the Nature Center. Workshop is limited to 18 participants. Pre-registration required. For more information on Carol visit https://www.carolreed.org/
