How do we make a home amidst the climate crisis?
About this Event
We are going to experiment together. Young people ages 5 -11 will collaborate to make a free-standing nest structure which explores ideas of home, made from locally scavenged materials, domestic debris, and biomaterials. Young people will have the chance to and learn making skills, experiment, and each child will plant a seed in pot and be given a lavender plant to take home.
Kate McDonough will work with the young people to make a film of the workshop and discuss their ideas about the environment. Young people must be accompanied by an adult.
