Dry Media: A Herbarium Art Workshop – Summer Edition
Video Pool is pleased to partner with the University of Manitoba Herbarium to present this popular Dry Media workshop for the second time.
A herbarium is a biorepository of dried, preserved plant specimens for scientific study. The University of Manitoba Herbarium houses the largest collection of vascular plants in Manitoba, with over 76,000 records. Artists will gain access to this plant collection, and have the opportunity to draw from pressed plant specimens, microscopes, and microphotography.
