Getting to Know Lichens

Workshop with Creative Resident Ayla Gizlice in collaboration with BARN.

Did you know that lichens are useful indicators of air quality and can produce vibrantly colored natural dyes? 

Ayla Gizlice is an Environmental Artist and a 2022 Creative Resident at Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. Join her for a free online workshop to learn more about these amazing properties of lichen, including how to identify several species of local lichens that can be used as barometers for air pollution, and also how to sustainably collect, prepare, and dye with lichens. Visit her website to learn more. 

You may also enter your name for a follow-up in-person walk with Ayla at Bloedel Reserve to be held on Saturday, April 16 from 10 AM to Noon. There are only 10 spots for the walk available. If demand for the walk exceeds that, names will be drawn lottery style. This is only open to registrants of this online talk.
