Craft & ecology

A creative community
and earth school

Green Girl Crafts is a creative community and earth school for the curious, founded by environmentalist and author Leah Thomas. Rooted in the belief that making things by hand can bring us closer to the earth and to one another, it’s a place to gather, learn, experiment and create.

Primarily based in Los Angeles, CA with pop-ups and collaborations elsewhere, Green Girl Crafts has welcomed thousands of guests into workshops, field trips and gatherings that blend ecological education with hands on making. Exploring natural dyes, florals, fermentation, printmaking, textiles and objects made slowly by hand.

Alongside our community programming, Green Girl Crafts creates custom workshops, activations and experiences for brands, cultural institutions, schools and organizations.

Whether you’re joining us for a workshop or inviting Green Girl Crafts into your own community, each experience is an invitation to follow your curiosity, learn from the natural world, make something beautiful and spend a little more time in wonder.

Cyanotype Workshop with USC Sustainability

April 29, 2026 · USC Sustainability Hub · Prints

We partnered with the USC Sustainability Office for a cyanotype workshop, exploring the art of alternative printing using plants and the power of the sun.

Together, we experimented with cyanotype paper and botanical materials to create sun-printed works that capture light, shadow, and the beauty of the natural world. Each piece is one of a kind, shaped by time, texture, and sunlight.

This workshop welcomed all skill levels. Guests were invited to bring their curiosity, patience, and love for nature—slowing down, learning something new, and creating alongside community.

In partnership with the USC Sustainability Office by Green Girl Crafts Club.
