SUMMARY:RICHMOND - Nature Crafting with Invasive Plants
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to turn regionally invasive plants\, Horse Chestnut and Morning Glory\, into functional\, beautiful keychains. While working with these natural materials\, we’ll explore their histories\, ecological impacts\, and stories. \nParticipants will explore cordage weaving and basic woodworking. \nThis workshop is best suited for those aged 8+\, as cordage-making requires some dexterity. Pre-made cordage will be available for anyone who prefers it. The workshop also includes the use of low-powered electric drills. \nAbout the Facilitator:Joshua Ralph is a nature mentor and community-engaged eco-artist behind the Invasive Art Initiative. His work bridges ecology and creativity\, offering new ways to relate to “invasive species” through ethically harvested\, repurposed plant materials. Since 2021\, the traveling initiative has collaborated with nonprofits and community groups across the Lower Mainland to offer workshops\, demos\, and talks that challenge dominant narratives about environment\, colonization\, and human exceptionalism. \nLearn more at www.invasiveartinitiative.ca \nClick here to register! \n
