About this event

Arts • Craft

Join Yesenia Thibault-Picazo in her Material Teller practice, where craft gestures meet botany and ecology. This 3-hour workshop invites you to explore the Anthropocene—the era defined by human impact on the environment—through the lens of ruderal plants, resilient species that thrive in human-disturbed landscapes like the Lea Valley.

You’ll take a short walk to observe and collect these hardy plants, which tell stories of survival and adaptation amid environmental change. Back in the studio, you will preserve your collected specimens in beeswax, creating a waxed herbarium—a unique artwork and material reflection on our changing world.

Through this process, the workshop connects hands-on craft with ecological awareness, inviting participants of all ages (12+) to engage with nature, materiality, and the stories plants tell in the Anthropocene.
