In connection with our September salon, we’re hosting our own pop-up picnic. Join the American Craft Council and artist Anna Metcalfe for a pop-up picnic and hands-on workshop at Boom Island Park. Bring a dish to share and be prepared to get your hands dirty.

Let's all share a meal on handmade ceramic picnic plates, bowls, and cups made by Anna Metcalfe in collaboration with several local artists and designers. The utensils will arrive at the picnic on a custom-made cargo tricycle in wooden crates that have been designed for transport. The event will combine honeybee science, hands-on bee-related craft projects for all ages, and a shared community meal.

The Library Salon Series is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
