These are not skilled glasswork, but I have made my first models of economic botany of some sort! With a bonus clear sprout for further experimentation with glass painting.

Poster for the Plant Humanities KNAW-HuC.

Description on the poster: Plant Humanities has emerged as a convergence point for multiple disciplines interested in the connections between plants and people. Such convergence has the potential to address important questions of today, such as climate change, biodiversity decline, and decolonization of knowledge. This colloquium brings together researchers in Plant Humanities in the Netherlands to showcase the many ways in which people have related to plants in the past and present.
