Join artist Liz Schreiber for a crop art happy hour as she leads a hands-on virtual workshop on making a mosaic made of seeds.

Learn the basics of Crop Art, a beloved Minnesota tradition. In this hands-on virtual class, we will discuss the history, process, and details of creating a seed mosaic popularized by the Minnesota State Fair. The instructor will create art with you over video. Follow along as we discuss where to buy seeds and how to create your own piece ready for entry to the 2021 State Fair.
