www.altgeldsawyer.cornerfarmchicago.comTour and Demo: October 3 & 10, 12-4pm
Visit a farm without leaving the city at the Altgeld-Sawyer Corner Farm, a collective project of members of the Columbia College Interdisciplinary Department, Christopher House, Twine NFP, and residents of the Logan Square neighborhood. The Corner Farm is dedicated to education and growing fibers for papermaking and natural dies alongside vegetables for the community. Tours of the farm begin on the hour and include the story behind this eco-art spot as well as the kinds of plants and vegetables grown there. And don't miss the natural dye and papermaking demos -- visitors each get a sheet of handmade paper! Artists include:
Shayna Cohen and Amy Mall.
