MAKE INK From the Forest Connect natural science, history, culture, and creativity with Mississippi trees. Register Here Join artist & naturalist Robin Whitfield for a hands-on exploration of the remarkable materials found in two familiar Mississippi trees. Make a turkey feather quill, iron gall ink from oak galls and black walnut ink from walnut hulls, while exploring the ecological and cultural histories behind these materials-from Indigenous knowledge and Southeastern traditions to European settlers, early American writing, education, medicine, and the everyday people who used what they could find around them to make a permanent mark. Space is limited. Pre-registration required. Ages 12+
