The Grand Marais Public Library will host a program featuring the art and history of henna body art at 3:30 p.m. Jan. 3.
This free program by Kristy Johnson will include the history and culture of henna through the ages as well as how to mix and apply pure, natural henna.
Johnson has a passion for henna and has been studying and sharing her art at festivals and events across the Duluth – Superior area since 1995. As a self-taught artist she has become well versed in the history and the beautiful art form of henna that has been around since nearly the beginning of time.
In this workshop, Kristy will share the history, cultural traditions and science of henna, in a fun relaxed atmosphere packed with hands-on education and experience. Learn how to prepare the perfect batch of pure natural henna paste, application techniques, and the importance of choosing natural henna, as well as an opportunity to create and practice traditional designs on paper, yourself and other brave students in the workshop.
The program, sponsored by the Arrowhead Library System, was funded in part or in whole with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. Contact the library at (218) 387-1140 for more information.
