Join us for a late afternoon of bead-making using wild clay gathered sparingly from the paint pot mud volcanoes east of Fort Bragg. Guest artist Ona Rynearson will discuss her experiments with this clay and lead a meditative bead-making session. This gathering is all within the context of Redwood Time, and these beads and miniature sculptures will find a place on the fabric model of the Redwood Round that we are collectively creating.

Questions we may ponder are: How can these small bits of local earth best demarcate events or concepts in expanded historical timelines? How can we document seismic history? Planetary returns? Geological time?

We hope you’ll join us in getting a little messy, playing with these questions, and bringing plenty of your own curiosity.
