(From George Washington Carver National Monument)On Thursday, January 18th you are invited to attend Coffee With Carver at 10:00 a.m. inside the visitor center at George Washington Carver National Monument.
Enjoy a cup of hot coffee or tea as you learn about George Washington Carver’s artistic work, which he called “my soul’s expression." George Washington Carver was an artist at heart and created pottery, needlework, scientific drawings, and paintings. He saved leftover fabric, string, and other materials to create art.
Discover the paints, dyes, and stains he created from clay, and the patents he held. Learn if he excelled in portraits, still life, landscapes, or botanicals. A park ranger will present rarely seen photographs of George Washington Carver’s artwork and explain this creative aspect of his life.
Following the presentation, park volunteer Kay Graves will lead a hands-on activity making pocket bookmarks. This easy activity allows you to embroider a bookmark to take home. Coffee and hot tea will be served. Coffee With Carver is a free program, supported by the Carver Birthplace Association. Save the date for the next Coffee With Carver, on February 16th, entitled To Fill the Empty Dinner Pail, featuring sweet potato and peanut products in the science lab.
