Join the Arboretum’s 2026 Native American Artist in Residence, Maggie Thompson, for a community- and land-engaged collage workshop!

This all-ages, hands-on workshop invites participants to explore Ojibwe floral design through drawing, cut paper, and collage. Maggie will guide you to observe flowers, plants, soil, and ground patterns around the Snyder Building and the MacMillan and Morgan Terrace gardens. With the Arboretum as a shared point of reference, you will use your observational skills and think about your relationship to the land. This process mimics Maggie’s own, larger process and plan for her Residency.

Age: All ages. Children and adolescents must be accompanied by an adult. Everyone must have a ticket.

Skill level: all levels and all abilities

Light lunch will be provided.
