SUMMARY:Adult Workshop: Curiosity Boxes
DESCRIPTION:Please preregister here!  \nWorkshop Description:\nFor centuries\, Cabinets of Curiosity have offered glimpses of collected items from near and far including minerals\, fossils\, dried specimens\, preserved insects\, antiquities\, and more. Peaking in popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries\, the practice predates modern museums. Each collection often includes a mixture of objects representing the collector’s interests and ranging from exotic natural specimens to scientific instruments\, to antiquities\, art works\, and oddities. In this workshop\, you’ll create your own “curiosity box\,” starting with a premium vintage cigar box decorated with decoupage\, paint\, or decorative accents. Then select a mix of treasures from our curated offerings including mini-fossils\, dried plants\, shells\, funny mushrooms\, rough and tumbled gemstones and more! Finally\, take the box home and add your own mementos over time. \nAudience Target:\nAdults and teens ages 10+ interested in natural history and a unique art experience. \nFormat:\nA guided\, hands-on workshop focused on decorating and filling a personalized curiosity box. Participants will have the chance to work with paint\, and various decorative elements to craft their own unique box\, with instruction on techniques for finishing touches. \nFee:\n$40\, $35 members. \nMaterials Provided/Fee Includes:  \n\nAll materials for decorating your curiosity box (wood\, paint\, embellishments\, etc.)\nA selection of starter treasures including fossils\, rough and tumbled gemstones\, shells\, dried plants\, and more!\nWorkshop handouts with ideas for collecting and preserving additional curiosity box items\nGarden Admission for the entire day of the event\n\nPresenter:\nEducation Manager\, Barbara Goldentyer has been at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden for 6 years. She has a Master’s in Environmental Studies and she has always enjoyed exploring nature. Barbara keeps a “curiosity shelf” of her own at home.
