Ways of Plants: Dandelion!

Herb and Print-Making Class

Thursday, May 15th * 1:00-4:15pm * Fireweed Community Woodshop

For over two years, print-making artist Jessie Merriam and I have been offering this series of deep-dives into one single plant. It's kind of a wonder that it's taken us this long to turn our attention to dandelion - this fierce, persistent, medicine-for-the-people. But now is a great time!

I'll share what I know about the history and botany of the plant, and we'll discuss medicinal and culinary uses, and do some sampling. Then Jessie will lead us in creating our own woodblock prints honoring this bright, abundant beauty. Participants will go home with their prints and a tin of dandelion flower salve!

We'll have time while carving for more conversation about Dandelion's many virtues!
