Kayla Powers is a place-based fiber artist and naturalist living and working in Detroit. In this drop-in style workshop, participants will learn about the process of extracting pigment from plants and how make paint using a natural binder. Participants will then use those paints to add to a collaborative community painting that will later be displayed.

Kayla Powers creates ecologically focused textile art to explore the common threads of our shared humanity. Years of gardening and city living have given rise to her unique approach to foraging for plants in an urban environment. Kayla holds a BA in Art History from Western Michigan University and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art.

 

This program is made possible by the PNC Foundation.
