Join us and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture for a special plant workshop and art lecture.

In this workshop, you will learn how to mount and care for hoyas or wax plants to create a living wall hanging inspired by the foliage on Bisa Butler’s quilt, I Go Prepare a Place for You. In their natural environment, many hoyas grow on rocks or trees, not in the pots you see at the garden store. Learn about Bisa Butler’s work while creating a stunning piece of living art.

Your ticket includes all materials needed for the activity, hands-on instruction from Rock Paper Plant, and a presentation by Education Specialists, Cassidy Moses & Lydia Charles.

Thanks to the generosity of the Smithsonian, your ticket is just $20. Normally a class like this would cost $65 per ticket. This class will be taught in-person in the museums’s second floor classroom.

To manage class size, we are offering a morning session and an afternoon session of this workshop. Please make sure you check the time before you register.
