Join artist & naturalist Robin Whitfield for a hands-on exploration of the remarkable materials found in two familiar Mississippi trees.
Make a turkey feather quill, iron gall ink from oak galls and black walnut ink from walnut hulls, while exploring the ecological and cultural histories behind these materials—from Indigenous knowledge and Southeastern traditions to European settlers, early American writing, education, medicine, and the everyday people who used what they could find around them to make a permanent mark.
Space is limited. Pre-registration required. Ages 12+
