Thursday, July 24                                       6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Wildwood Park                                           $45 per participant

Design a unique 18” x 18” cotton pillow cover 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. Program limited to 18 participants. Pre-registration required. For more information on Carol visit https://www.carolreed.org/
