Lavender Ribbon Wand Workshop
A lavender ribbon wand is a gorgeous, traditional handicraft originating in Provence, France. Known as ‘Fuseaux de Lavande’ in France, they are a lovely way to capture and preserve the scent of lavender. They are made by weaving lavender stems and ribbon into a ‘cage’ that holds the fragile lavender buds.
Lavender wands are traditionally placed in linen cupboards and drawers to repel moths and keep clothes sweet-smelling. They were part of a bride’s trousseau. They are also a delightful house present!

Animation and Comic Arts Gathering
The umbrella fields of animation and comics have a lot of diverse roles and skill sets underneath it. Whether the field of interest is in character design, story boarding, environmental / background design, multiple, all, or more, there’s a lot that can be learned.

The goals of this gathering are:
To foster and grow the artistic community for those interested in the entertainment storytelling fields of animation and comics
To provide a space for collaborative community learning
To shine a spotlight on and promote local storytelling artists
No sign up necessary, just show up with your supplies (ipad, sketchbooks, markers, pencils…)!
