2026 Science of Craft at IBSL

Science of Craft is back at the Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories!

The cold of winter is the best time to start making summer plans! Join us for short courses in Northern Minnesota that will satisfy your curiosity and build new skills. Take one or all. 

[Note students taking Drawn to Nature and Writing the Wild are invited to stay at the station over the weekend between the courses for a nominal meals-and-lodging fee]

No experience needed! These courses are non credit-bearing and are open to the general public. All are welcome!

Come deepen your practice through science, hands-on skill-building, and exploration of the natural world in our living laboratory.
