Corrie leads us through the construction of two varieties of foliage found in nature: the black gold philodendron and the sand dollar eucalyptus. With Corrie’s help, we are diving head first into the soothing and detailed world of hand-crafted structural art. The possibilities are endless.

Corrie’s love for art started with portrait drawing and quilt making when she was just eight years old. Today, she is the art & craft director for the world-renowned event design firm David Stark Design, as well as the author of Handmade Houseplants: Remarkably Realistic Plants You Can Make with Paper. Originally from Mississippi, Corrie now calls Brooklyn, New York home. When she is not elbow-deep in one craft or another, she can be found hiking, studying wild edible plants or strumming her guitar to old-time country music.

We are so excited to have you join us with this project as we conjure up botanically inspired masterpieces. We can’t wait to see the sustainable foliage you create! We would love for you to share your final product with us by tagging your photos with #thecraftersbox. Happy making.
