Join us for a series of events hosted by @_shagho (she/her) artist and community facilitator, exploring Ernest Batchelder's ornamental legacy through nature's hidden patterns. Eucalyptus seed pods crack into star forms, California live oak acorns nest in textured caps, and Anna's hummingbird throats flash ruby coin-sized patches—patterns waiting for hands working clay, paper, leather, and found materials.
