Soil Reading

In this hands-on, sensory workshop with soil scientist /ecologist Nance Klehm of Social Ecologies, participants will be in-vited to touch, smell, examine and learn to ‘read’ many different soils, sands, and clays gathered from many places in the Midwest. This collective reading will dig into themes from the exhibition and offer newfound appreciation and insight into the soil beneath our feet. Activity is appropriate to ages 10 and up. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
