Ready to dive into the magical world of fungi and natural color? Join artist and farmer Julie Beeler, whose Mushroom Color Atlas is part of World Without End: The George Washington Carver Project, as she takes you on a vibrant journey through the fungi kingdom. You will learn how to unlock the mesmerizing hues from wild mushrooms and transform them into pigments, paints, and inks. Working hands-on with fungi is an opportunity to explore renewable sources and sustainability, practices that were central to Carver’s scientific and artistic methods.
