In this science-art workshop, you’ll not only visit this microscopical realm with the help of a microscope and petri plates, but also work with microbes to craft new artwork—and gain a whole new appreciation of the importance of small things in the process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis workshop is led by Microbiologist, 5x TED\/TEDx speaker, life long Maine resident, and recent recipient of National Geographic’s Wayfinder Award, Dr. Anne A. Madden! It offers the opportunity to gain an in depth tour of the museum’s special exhibit, “Microbes and Mushrooms: Nature’s Artistry in Detail,” while getting an awe-filled introduction to the basics of beneficial microbes and mushrooms. Following this introduction, there will be access to various science-art stations, along with guided instruction on techniques, allowing participants to see, handle, and create with microbes in new ways. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, meet your fellow crafters, and indulge in plenty of wonder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring this roughly two-hour workshop, participants will be able to participate in the following activities:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-  Use a microscope and capture a digital photo of your own microscopic landscape with the help of award-winning science-artist Tracy Debenport (visit her work at @under.the.scope on Instagram to see examples).
