Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
www.lewisginter.org
In 1884, Lewis Ginter purchased some property and built a gathering place for Richmond bicyclists. One hundred years later, the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden was established on this same piece of property and soon became one of the top five destinations in Virginia. The Garden is home to Artbase a searchable database containing 2,500 botanical watercolor paintings by Alexandre Descubes. The Adult Education program at the garden includes workshops in botanical drawing and painting.

Needle-Felting with Botanical Subjects
Saturdays, February 2 and 16, 2013
9:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Artist Judy Thomas leads this new, exploratory media for botanical art, a hybrid of illustration and fiber art. Create three-dimensional botanical images felted to a fabric base. Needle-felting involves the use of a barbed needle to use wool’s natural ability to ‘lock’ together. Learn the tools and techniques of needle felting and create a small image and a larger composition using beautiful colored wools. No prior experience needed. Registrants will receive a supply list. Backing pieces and wool are provided.
Cost: $102 nonmembers, $80 members.
