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.
Lacking learning resources and a cohesive community, the idea behind this gathering is for helping each other learn by pooling our collective knowledge, providing other artistic perspectives, and overall form connections with those in our subsection of artistic interest.
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…)!
