Come make art, build community, and learn about local ecology with RuckusRoots and guest facilitator, Teresa Totaro! This educational and creative workshop series for kids and parents will incorporate accessible wellness practices such as breathing and yoga, with art projects themed around plants and animals that assist with land restoration after wildfires.
Our first workshop will use printmaking to explore local animals who aid in land restoration, while our second workshop will use drawing techniques to highlight the beauty of fire-resilient CA wildflowers. Materials provided. Registration required. Ages 9+.
About RuckusRootsRuckusRoots is a Los Angeles-based nonprofit dedicated to creating art programs that cultivate environmental awareness and action in local communities. Since 2011, we’ve worked with local artists, activists, and community members to offer free or low-cost art and ecology experiences for Angelenos of all ages.
With support from Direct Relief, the Altadena Library District is partnering with local organizations to offer workshops, trainings, and other activities for all ages that promote community health and well-being in the aftermath of the Eaton Fire. The funding will also help create a collection of wellness materials and supplies available for patrons to access during their visits. In addition, plans include hosting a mental health fair featuring engaging, evidence-based activities designed to support emotional resilience and connection.
