This workshop is part of our program From the Rooftops, a mutual aid initiative in the form of a community-run garden on the art center’s roof. We have been working with a wide network of local collaborators in setting up the space and we are excited for this workshop to be the first in a series of upcoming workshops themed around handcraft practices with natural materials.
