Description

Crafting with Scraps Series: Repurposing Materials for the Arts

Get crafty with the Farm & Compost Team who will share many ways to give scraps a new life: fun and informative workshops! Learn how to re-imagine leftovers and see new life in old material. It's a great event for composters and crafters of all ages.

July 16, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT: Mugwort Magic: Soaps & Teas

Many people think of the plant mugwort as a weed, however, it has many botanical properties! Instead of throwing our weedy mugwort into the compost bin, join us to learn how to identify, harvest, dry, and repurpose the misunderstood mugwort. In this lesson, attendees will use dried mugwort to make soaps and teas that they can enjoy and bring home.

July 30, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT: Natural Dyeing with Food Scraps

Did you know that the food scraps that you toss into the compost bin can be made into vibrant colors for dying textiles? In this workshop, learn the wonders of natural dying and the techniques and patterns to create a new life for your fabrics. Each attendee will get a canvas bag to dye and bring home. Attendees can also bring their own fabrics to dye (we recommend natural fibers and light-colored fabric).

August 13, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT: Scrappy Mocktail Making

Discover the flavor-packed world of scraps! We will be learning about a variety of botanical scraps and how to incorporate them into delicious and refreshing mocktails, sure to impress your summer gatherings. Attendees will explore a variety of recipes and have taste tests of scrappy mocktails. Attendees will learn several recipes and take a mocktail home!

August 27, 10:30 AM - 1:00 PM EDT: Printmaking with Scraps

In this workshop, attendees will create paintings in a fun and unexpected way! Attendees will learn how to make food scrap stencils for print making! They will use these stamps to create botanical artwork!
