Seeds &mdash; those tiny pods housing the magic of life &mdash; have inspired creative works of art across the world and throughout history. In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the beauty, symbolism, and design possibilities of seeds, grains, and beans. Many cultures have used seed mosaics in ceremonial and decorative art to reflect themes of growth, life, fertility, balance, and harmony. Different materials carried different meanings: wheat could suggest abundance, sunflower seeds loyalty, and geometric patterns often represented order and balance. The deep connection between people and the natural world continues to be celebrated through the color, texture, and diversity of seeds in mosaic art. Tap into your creativity and design a seed mosaic mandala of your own. About Beth: After finding inspiration in ancient mosaics and teaching herself this age-old art form, Beth Persche has been creating mosaics for more than 20 years. Her work incorporates tile, pottery, glass, and seeds. She has led numerous community workshops and collaborative projects, including large seed mosaic archways for Sauk County&rsquo;s Fermentation Fest.
