Lara and Annie (Chowgirls) at The Great Northern!

Join artist Lara Cornell and sustainable catering expert Annie Pennings Edmond of Chowgirls for an inspiring workshop exploring how art and food can drive climate action through circular design. Discover the challenges and impacts of their industries, how they’ve embraced biomimicry and sustainability, and the creative collaborations that emerged from their shared commitment to regenerative practices. From transforming food waste into art materials to designing seasonal, zero-waste events, this session will inspire you to rethink lifecycles, celebrate the planet, and find joy in sustainable innovation. Leave with actionable ideas, a fresh perspective on circular systems, and a recipe card to bring the revolution home—colorful, celebratory, and kind to the earth.
