"Drawing Together" at "Its My Park Day" in Coffey Park THIS Weekend!!

K.I.D.S. Teaching Artist Mollie McQuarrie will be collaborating with John Clarke and Coffee Park Gardeners for a unique "Drawing Together" workshop in honor of "Its My Park Day" in Coffey Park THIS weekend. Participants will work in small groups to identify and measure trees and then translate their data to color coded ribbon. The ribbon will be joined and labeled according to tree type and wound into a spiral (echoing a tree ring) showing the types and sizes of park trees. The finished product, a "drawn" mural celebrating our spectacular and local tree life, will be displayed in the park house for all to enjoy.

Where: Coffey Park, Red Hook, Brooklyn
Start time: We will provide an explanation at 11:30 but anyone is welcome to join in at any point between 11:30 and 2.
