Native Bee Hotels - Community Workshop with John Kotab

This introduces participants to the life cycle of solitary stem-nesting bees and the native plants they depend on. Attendees will then create their own bee hotels to take home—each featuring a 5-inch square sheltered opening filled with stems and/or blocks. Participants will also receive a seed packet to start a garden of hollow-stem plants that provide essential habitat for these important pollinator.

An Exploration in Charcoal with Beth Loveland

Charcoal has a wild side—it can be smoky and subtle, or bold and unruly. In this workshop, we’ll court all of its personalities by working with vine, compressed, and powdered charcoal across a range of surfaces. Think of it as a laboratory for mark-making: we’ll smear, erase, layer, splash, and discover how chance and control dance together on the page.
