AGAVES | Geometry in nature
Agaves and humans have been allies for millenia (as we'll learn from an agave scientist). This affinity is partly due to their charming geometry. But agaves also hold the secrets of the universe if you know how to look. Join artist Paul Mirocha and renowned agave expert Wendy Hodgson of the Desert Botanical Gardens for a fascinating look at one of nature's most enigmatic plants . . .
Tumamoc classes are a unique blend of art + science: session will include art instruction by our experienced team of Tumamoc artists, plus a lecture and interaction with a research ecologist or naturalist. There is a high student-to-instructor ratio.
