Join us for the month of July to view, interact with and participate in Redwood Time – a community project initiated by the Larry Spring Museum that centers around the C.R. Johnson Memorial Round and in particular, the dendrochronological timeline that is placed upon it.

We invite you to join us as we bring our community research to life through a series of craft gatherings — sewing, dyeing, and weaving a contemporary vision of time and local history into material form.

Project Background: Redwood Time is a project series that proposes a radical rereading of the C.R. Johnson Memorial Tree — the monumental Redwood Round that stands at the heart of Fort Bragg. The project draws into question our notions of individuality as we link ourselves together with complex histories, ecosystems and multi-species inhabitants.

Redwood Time has received support from California Humanities, Community Foundation of Mendocino County, National Endowment for the Arts, Andy Warhol Foundation, Helen Frankenthaler Foundation, and the Puffin Foundation. It is intended to culminate, as much as anything ever truly culminates, in the Spring of 2027 with a community-wide presentation centered in Dry Shed #4 on the Mill Site at the foot of Redwood Avenue.
