The Art of Fungi Workshop with Andrea Dingeldein
Saturday, February 12, 10am – 3pm
Join Andrea (science illustrator) and Marisa (fungiphile and Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History staff) for a day full of fungal exploration — from forest foraging to science illustration!
We’ll start by exploring mushroom biodiversity in the forest, collecting a few specimens that inspire our curiosity and creativity. After a quick break for lunch, we’ll gather back at the Museum for a session of illustration (outdoors weather permitting). Andrea will guide us through the steps in her process, from observing and sketching the form of mushrooms to recording the important details needed for identification. Bring along your own nature journaling tools and materials or use the ones provided, and walk away with a new set of skills and knowledge to help you connect with nature!
