Seed Jewelry Workshop

Join artist Eric César Morales for an art-making workshop! Participants will learn to weave intricate jewelry with seeds harvested from around Philadelphia, as well as seeds collected from Latin America and the Pacific. We will learn about the historical and cultural significance of each type of seed, including their roles in art, music, food, medicine, and folktales. Participants will design and weave their own bracelets out of seeds! All materials are provided, and interested participants will have the chance to hand-drill a few of their own seeds. Designed for all ages and experience levels, this workshop welcomes everyone--from children to seniors--to engage creatively with nature, culture, and craft! Accessibility: This event will take place in the Coach House, an indoor space that is accessible via wheelchair. The Coach House is about a 3-minute walk from the main Visitor Parking Loop, on a slight downhill incline with a paved ramp path. Gendered, multi-stall public restrooms and all-gender single restrooms, both ADA-accessible, are about a one-minute walk. We're happy to make accommodations for guests with mobility limitations. Large portions of our 50+ acre botanical garden can be explored via wheelchair, though some of our paths should be used at your own discretion.
