Special Friday - Hand Papermaking with Inclusions
This workshop will introduce hand papermaking using inclusions and stencils. Participants will be able to make and take home handmade paper using cotton fiber. Paper may be designed using stencils made from Dura-lar, natural inclusions found at yəhaw̓’s land, and other collage material inclusions thinner than a coin.
Michael Paul Baja Anderson is a second-generation Filipino-American multidisciplinary artist based in Chicago, IL. Softness, connection, memory, and play drive Anderson’s practice. Using physical processes of connection such as weaving, hand papermaking, and collage, Anderson transforms fragments from the margins into visions modeling forms of strength, care, and cultural perpetuation.
Michael grew up in Washington, and co-curated Indigenous Creatives Collective teen art show in 2019 as a high school junior. Welcome back Michael!

Bat Night
We will be exploring the land as we try to spot and collect data on local bats during a guided observation. Bats Northwest will help us to learn about the vital ecological roles bats play and the work they do to help them stick around.
Did you know that bats hold significant and diverse symbolic meanings in Indigenous cultures worldwide, often associated with the night, intuition, and the spiritual realm? Some people may think bats are scary, but they are actually pretty cute and very much harmless. Plus, they eat up all the mosquitoes!

Hands on the Land
Hands on the Land is our biannual paid land workday. During these collaborative events, we gather to complete large projects on the land while learning about planting techniques and enjoying some fun activities in between. This project has been funded in part by a Food Equity Fund award from the City of Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods, the Earth Rising Foundation, King Conservation District, King County Flood Control District, Seattle Foundation, City of Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment, and Seattle Peoples Fund.
