Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department’s Prairie Park Nature Center is hosting a workshop on creating rain chains, a decorative yet functional alternative to rain gutters.
In DIY Rain Chains, participants will make an eight-foot chain using small terra cotta pots and beads. These chains act as downspout, diverting rainwater to a basin or other water feature. Participants will have the opportunity to paint their rain chains any color or design.
This class is available for anyone 18 years-old and older. It is held 1:30-3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 25, at Prairie Park Nature Center, 2730 Harper St. Cost is $20 per person. All materials are provided.
Registration can be done online at http://lprd.org/activity?n=123221 or at the following Parks and Recreation facilities: Sports Pavilion Lawrence®, 100 Rock Chalk Lane; the Community Building, 115 West 11th St.; East Lawrence Recreation Center, 1245 East 15th St.; Holcom Park Recreation Center, 2700 West 27th St.; Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive or Prairie Park Nature Center.
