About

Callie Chappell, an artist, science communicator, scientist, and a 2023 artist-in-residence with the KBS Long-term Ecological Research program, will lead the workshop, set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 29, at the Sanctuary. Participants will be encouraged to bring culturally or personally significant materials with them for use in the project.

The workshop will begin with a short walk through the Sanctuary’s blooming Pollinator Garden, where you’ll collect plant life and natural materials that represent your personal connection to nature. Using the collected, brought, and provided materials you’ll craft a personal sun print, or cyanotype. You’ll leave with a piece of individual art to take home while also contributing to a community tapestry that will be featured at the KBS Bird Sanctuary.
