Wreath Making with Erica Mulder

Join eco-artist Erica Mulder for a Ivy Wreath Making workshop. Come make your own wreath with a mix of native and non-native plants! We'll start by weaving wreath bases out of invasive holly branches. From there we'll decorate them with Douglas fir, holly, cedar, red alder and more. Participants will be invited to learn about the plants they are using and better understand them while working with them.

About the artist:
Erica Mulder (she/her) is a mixed European settler who grew up in Burnaby, BC. She's interested in exploring our relationship with plants and how it's shaped by social and political forces. She's particularly focused on invasive and native plants. She builds relationships with invasive plants both by doing removal work and exploring uses for these plants, including dyeing, paper making and weaving. She works to help spread native plants through her work with Starseed Collective, a project that mails free natives seeds to people on Coast Salish land.

All materials and tools will be included.
