Art and Science on the River: Buckthorn Workshop

Saturday, March 8, 2025 - 10:00am to 12:30pm
MWMO, Northeast Minneapolis riverfront

Gather around a fire to make buckthorn charcoal from buckthorn branches harvested from the banks of the Mississippi River. You can sip hot beverages while learning about buckthorn and the river from ecologist Alex Roth.

Artist and fellow FMR volunteer Kimberly Boustead will show participants how to draw with buckthorn charcoal and give some options for drawing projects. Leave the workshop with your own buckthorn charcoal, drawings and new knowledge to share with others!

This workshop is part of the Art and Science on the River MWMO workshop series that seeks to help participants gain broader perspectives on different challenges to the river through art-making and information sharing.

This workshop is free, but tickets are limited. 

See the address and reserve your spot on Eventbrite.
