    Description

    Do you enjoy sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, felted wool, or other types of fabric crafting?

    The Botanical Artisan Guild (BAG) of the Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden seeks volunteers who enjoy any of these activities to support the Fiber Arts Committee. This is a group of volunteers who create botanically inspired items that are sold in the gift shop. Proceeds support the Botanical Garden. This is a flexible and creative volunteer role. The committee meets regularly, and volunteers work both in small groups and/or independently at home. This volunteer role is under the guidance of the Fiber Arts Committee Coordinator and the Botanical Artisan Guild Coordinator (both volunteer led roles). The BAG overall works with the Retail Program Manager at the Garden. Interested? Fill out a volunteer application: https://www.volgistics.com/appform/1325256960. Questions?
