GROW YOUR OWN MOTHER + LICHEN WALK

Sunday October 17 - 3pm - 5pm: Grow Your Own Mother Workshop

Join Zoom Workshop: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89019593459?pwd=c3VZZnZpR2NZSjRqK0V1UmsvOEVyZz09

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Opening Reception & Welcome to Mother Nurture

Come get acquainted with Mother Nurture during this launch event. Join the distributed network of growers and nurture a kombucha mother in your home, which we will then dry and add to this portal/chrysalis/shrine at our social sculpture activation event in early December. 

It's an easy three steps:

  1. Join the virtual demonstration (@ 3pm) on how to set up a small grow container on your countertop, or watch the livestream later!

  2. Sign up to get a starter kit at tinyurl.com/OctoberMN, which you can pick up at the Opening Event (6-8pm) later that evening.

  3. Set up the starter kit on your own by Oct 24 and then join the followup workshop on harvesting and drying the mother/leather in mid-November. 

If you're feeling confident, then you can even get a jumpstart on your mother by following the recipe at: tinyurl.com/growyourownmother

If you are already have a kombucha fermentation practice, and have mothers/leather to contribute to the project, please reach out to anuva@ucdavis.edu

*Pro Arts cares about the health and well-being of our community so please wear a mask and bring your vaccination card for entry to this event. 

Saturday October 30 (Time/Venue TBD)
