Paint Making with Invasive Plants Workshop at Cornell Cooperative Extension Columbia and Greene Counties - ACRA
1pm - 3pm
Agroforestry Resource Center, 6055 Route 23
Acra, New York 12405
Through mini presentations and hands-on paint-making, workshops introduce participants to bird species on farms and invasive plant management that supports their conservation. Asian invasive plants such as Toringo crabapple and Multiflora rose, collected at Hawthorne Valley Farm with guidance from professionals, are used as teaching materials.
While acknowledging their impact on local ecosystems, participants learn the plants' names, cultural significance, and uses in Japan. Participants take part in a hands-on session making paint from invasive species, creating a positive relationship with these otherwise harmful plants.
Participants will take home a bottle of plant paint and a list of low-cost, recycled-material options that allow them to continue paint-making independently.
Fee $45, all materials included. RSVP here.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of The Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by CREATE Council on the Arts.
