Playing with Patterns in Nature: Spirals
Advertisement
About this workshop:
Explore the fascinating world of patterns in nature. We will examine the purpose and function behind the beautiful spiral shape which is found in a variety of forms, from DNA to galaxies. Using these forms as inspiration, the presenters will guide participants in making pinecone ornaments, bird feeders, and spiral paper designs, perfect for decoration and gifting. You will see and appreciate nature in a completely new way!
This 3 hour workshop is designed for adults and seniors. Space is limited; registration opens 11/20/26 at 9 am. If all spaces are filled, contact Pinney Library to be placed on the waiting list at 608-224-7100.
