Learn about Northwest native trees and make a forest-theme textile collage with Artist in Residence Janice King.

This is a free art making workshop, suitable for all ages led by local artist Janice King. During her Residency at Arts Sanctuary, King will complete the 12 panel project the “Trees of Memory Future.” Her work draws viewers into new ways of thinking about our beloved Northwest trees and their potential futures in the face of climate change.
