Be a part of the creative team for the Enchanted Forest!
We need YOU to help to install faces on trees and give them personality! Expect to forage for interesting natural ephemera and find ways to incorporate your findings into the face. Grasses, twigs and flowers make terrific beards, mustches and hair. Mushrooms, leaves, lichens, acorns, feathers and all the interesting things on the forest floor really bring the faces to life.
Winona High School art students have created the faces themselves by sculpting paper mace and cardboard based features onto hardware cloth. The grid of the cloth is perfect for weaving in the natural materials.
This is fun for all ages! We think this is a perfect activity for a team of friends or family.
Pssst…If you can’t make it to the workshop on Saturday, please join us Sunday afternoon.
The Great Deku Tree is the guardian of the forest haven in the Legend of Zelda. We have envisioned our swamp forest as a similar forest haven. We believe the trees in our forest provide this kind of service which is key to its wellbeing.

Shout out to Shirley Hamilton and her Winona High School Art classes for dedicating their time and talents in the creation of 13 faces. This was hard and sticky work involving repurposing pasteboard boxes, take away bowls and brown Kraft paper into paper mache faces.
Make plans to attend the 4th biennial ENCHANTED FOREST on Nov 2 opening at 4pm.
