Gather & Make: Four Garden Projects

You don't have to be a plant expert or even have a garden to develop a relationship with the natural world around you. Gardener and artist Lorene Edwards Forkner shows you how to gather natural elements and make four unique craft projects inspired and driven by the seasons. This class includes how to construct a plant potted in mud and moss called a kokedama and how to suspend the brightness of citrus in a delicious salt mix. She then demonstrates two ways of reimagining botanicals, by inking imprints of herbs and leaves (even a humble weed can make a beautiful print) and threading flowers on string and wire to create a delicate, ephemeral arrangment. Capture the essence of the garden by bringing the seasons inside - there's so much material in the world around you!
