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 + Zines with the Girl Scouts of Greater LA
May 9, 2026 · Arlington Garden · Prints
We spent the afternoon with the Girl Scouts of Greater LA at Arlington Garden 🌿☀️
Together, we explored the garden and took time to observe the plants, textures, and small details within nature. Then, we introduced the girls to the process of cyanotypes and sun printing, teaching them how natural materials and sunlight can be used to create beautiful designs.
After creating their prints, we encouraged everyone to explore their creativity through handmade zines filled with drawings, ideas, and personal inspiration to share with one another.
It was such a meaningful day centered around art, nature, creativity, and community.
