— This Week’s Craft: Tabletop Biospheres
This month’s project is inspired by John Grade’s natural installation near the water at Laguna Gloria. How long can your habitat last, and will your submerged art change over time?

Seattle artist, John Grade, will debut a new installation called Canopy Tower on Saturday, Feb. 14. Canopy Tower resembles a large-scale inverted tower, carved and assembled from Brazilian Ipe wood and suspended from three trees.

Costs:

• $10 per family
• $5 for museum members

Go have fun and create!
