SUMMARY:Plankton Painting
DESCRIPTION:In this experimental photography workshop led by local artist and scientist Jess Holz\, participants create ‘paintings’ using microscopic plankton collected from the Arboretum’s ponds. Participants use a microscope in combination with software which creates video akin to timelapse photography- acting at the decisive moment\, participants snap photos of the trails created by these microscopic creatures. Participants will learn basic identification of microscopic pond life while getting a fascinating glimpse into their dynamic behavior\, such as the helical paths of flagellates and the water currents generated by rotifers as they feed. \n\n\n\nThis program takes place entirely in the Hunnewell Lecture Hall\, though participants are encouraged to visit the Ponds afterward to see where the plankton from their paintings came from! \n\n\n\nSee examples of previous plankton paintings at https://jessholz.com/plankton-painting/. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: The lecture hall is wheelchair accessible. \n\n\n\nAudience: This program is most appropriate for participants age 13+. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least one day in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less one day’s notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program\, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu (inbox monitored on weekdays) or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.

SUMMARY:Plant-Based Fabric Dyeing
DESCRIPTION:This is a members-only program. Not a member? Click here to join! \n\n\n\nMany of the plants grown at the Arboretum have been used as natural dyes for centuries: goldenrod for yellow\, stinging nettle for green\, madder or bloodroot for pink. Join fiber artist Maggie Ruth Haaland for a workshop to learn about and practice some of these natural dyeing methods. After a short introduction\, the class will embark on a walk to see and learn about the plants and the dyes they create; then participants will return to the Hunnewell Lecture Hall to try their own hands at dyeing\, using dye baths prepared by the instructor. Participants do not need to bring their own fabric or other materials\, and will go home with dyed fabric of their own. Participants may also get a chance to try their hand at eco-printing. \n\n\n\n*Important: This is a small-capacity class\, so please only sign up if you are sure you can attend\, and use the cancellation button on your confirmation email if your plans change. \n\n\n\nAccessibility: This program includes an outdoor walk over mulch and gravel paths\, pavement\, and off-path terrain. \n\n\n\nAudience: This members-only program is geared towards adults. \n\n\n\nInclement weather policy: Participants will be notified via email at least one day in advance if a program needs to be cancelled due to inclement weather\, and will be notified by phone if a program must be cancelled with less one day’s notice. Click here to view our full inclement weather policy. If you have questions about the status of a program\, please email publicprograms@arnarb.harvard.edu (inbox monitored on weekdays) or call the Visitor Center desk between 10:00am and 4:00pm at (617) 384-5209.
