Teen Hangout: Moonbeam Flora with Tyler Thrasher

Come give your weekend plans a glow-up in this hangout just for teens (ages 13-18)!

Meet artist and self-proclaimed “mad scientist” Tyler Thrasher and learn how to make one of his signature creations: Moonbeam Flora, aka glow-in-the-dark plants. By combining next-generation glowing mineral powder with ghost-white, preserved flora, you’ll be able to create the luminescent houseplants of your sci-fi dreams.

Beginner-friendly, this workshop is open to all experience levels. Whether you’re an artmaking master or just here for the vibes, you’re always welcome to hang with us at Crystal Bridges.

Free, tickets required. Reserve your spot online or with Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 today.

Presented by the Crystal Bridges Teen Council.

With an undying love for nature and its respective curiosities, there are few things Tyler Thrasher’s brain isn’t obsessing over. Between his pursuits to crystallize the world, opalize everything, and hunt down some of the realm’s most unique plants, his passion to combine art and science every step of the way is his fire and fuel.

Chances are if you catch Tyler at a party, he’ll talk your ear off about exploring caves, growing minerals in his lab, playing Dungeons and Dragons, hybridizing new plants, electronic music, grappling with and overcoming trauma, and just how amazingly beautiful and mysterious this whole wide universe is.
