SUMMARY:Gelli Plate Landscape Collage
DESCRIPTION:We’re so excited to welcome the multi-talented Ann Fleming back to the farm for a full-day gelli plate workshop. Her mini-workshop at the Open House was standing room only\, so she’s coming back for a full day of exploration and creativity!Gelli plates are a wonderful tool. They can be used for mono-printing and for creating unique\, spontaneous\, and original collage papers. In this workshop we will focus on the creation of collage papers. Once we have lots of papers completed we will create abstracted landscapes influenced by the beautiful surroundings of PN Farm. Along the way Ann will teach you how to look for value shapes using a Notan application.Each participant will have the chance to complete at least one piece of original artwork\, along with starting their own collection of collage papers for future art works. A $10 material fee is included in the price of this ticket. There will be snacks\, tea\, coffee and water available throughout the day; please plan on bringing a lunch (microwave\, stovetop\, fridge and toaster available for your use). Bring some outdoor gear for possible short stroll\, and come prepared to get messy!Please note: If you have accessibility needs\, please reach out and we will work to accommodate you.

Reach out to arts@pnfarm.com to request financial aid for this workshop!About the instructor: After a successful 25 year career as a potter creating architectural elements and brightly painted functional ware\, Ann began to focus on sculpture.  Her bronze figurative sculptures have been shown extensively across the Western US\, with over 350 pieces in private and public collections. In 2016 Ann turned her focus to painting and mixed media.  Using acrylics and the addition of handmade collage papers\, Ann describes her process…“I want the surface of the painting to draw you in as much as the subject or the story.”  Her work is figurative in nature\, focusing on the female form. With a Masters degree in art and teaching\, Ann taught art at Oregon College of Arts and Crafts\, Multnomah Art Center\, Lewis and Clark College and has taught several workshops.  Ann has also been active in arts organizing\, contributing to the founding of art festivals and co-operative galleries and doing board work for multiple art organizations.

SUMMARY:Nature Journaling with Betsy Jager
DESCRIPTION:“Those who dwell among the beauties and systems of the earth are never alone or weary of life.” – Rachel CarsonWe’re so excited to welcome Ridgefield artist\, wildlife photographer\, teacher and observer extraordinaire to the farm! Spend the day on Plas Newydd Farm\, connecting with nature.  Nature journaling is the process of being present in a space\, looking carefully at the world around us\, documenting and expressing what we see and wonder. Whether you are a new or veteran nature journaler\, come with an open mind\, love of nature\, and permission to question and create. You do not have to be an artist to benifit from nature journalling. We often see beautiful pages of botanical drawings on Pinterest and other social media and feel intimidated. The benefits and essence of nature journalling lie in the process and time spent slowing down to look carefully and build a connection to the world we live in. We will spend time building your  skills from wherever you are in your artistic process\, filling your tool box so you can feeling more confident in expressing your ideas the way you see them. The day will be a balance of building skills to better capture what we see\, and active exploration and observation out in the field. We will work on drawing techniques used for observation\, layout/design\, color\, and use of watercolors. We believe strongly that nature journaling is one of the most intimate and accessible ways to be in a landscape. You don’t need to be an “Artist” to join us — just come with a willingness to learn\, a desire to observe the world around you and an interest to wonder! Please bring a lunch and refillable water bottle and anything you need to be comfortable outdoors in early September. Coffee\, tea\, and light snacks will be provided. We plan to be out on the farm as much as possible for this workshop\, so come prepared for the weather! If you have mobility or other accessibility issues\, please reach out to Abby at arts@pnfarm.com to discuss how we may be able to support you for this field-based event. Additionally\, please feel free to reach out to Abby if you need to access a full or partial scholarship from the Spirit Lake Scholarship Fund in order to attend the class and/or purchase supplies. A note on materials: There are two ticket types for this class\, depending whether you need materials or you will provide your own. Please read the following\, and choose the ticket that best reflects your needs. 1) Workshop cost + materials includes the workshop cost and all materials needed. They will be ready for you when you arrive and you take them home with you to continue your nature journalling. 2) Workshop cost only (no materials provided) is just the workshop\, and assumes that you have or will get your own materials. We do have limited loaner supplies on hand\, so if you need just one or two things from the list\, or you aren’t sure about making an investment just for this class\, please email Abby to discuss and she will guide you to the best ticket option for you.   Materials List:Mixed Media Sketchbook with thick pages\, that will accept pen and watercolorSuggestion: Canson Mixed Media 9×12Quality Watercolor Set with an assortment of colorsSuggestion: Winsor & Newton Cotman Field Set 14 colorsWatercolor Brush The brush (size 4) that comes  in your travel set is a nice universal size.

It was in school that she decided to combine her passion for art with the need to share that through education. She majored in both printmaking and child development\, continuing on to recieve her Masters in Education with an emphasis on art education. She continued on to teach graduate courses in art education and worked at the LA County Museum of Art before returning home to the beautiful PNW.  When she returned\, she continued teaching and running her own art studio\, bringing art to both children and adults. Drawing and painting have always been a huge part of her life and how she documents and shares the natural world around her. While raising her family\, photography began to take on a greater and greater role in how she captures the world around her\, especially nature.  Now she is an avid wildlife photographer that loves to immerse herself in nature and bring its beauty to others.  Many years ago\, she was introduced to the fabulous work of John Muir Laws\, the guru and driving force of nature journalling. She was instantly drawn in\, seeing an intersection of all the things she loves.  Personally\, she loved the stillness and connection to nature it provided—a perfect platform for closer\, more thoughtful observation and questioning.  Even more importantly\, she was drawn to the important role nature journalling can play in helping people connect with the preciousness and fragility of our rapidly changing world. She believes the most powerful way to inspire people to care for our earth is the help them build meaningful connections with nature\, whether you bring nature’s story to people through photography\, or bring people to nature to connect with its smallest pieces through nature journalling.

SUMMARY:Exploring Transitions -- A multi-disciplinary workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Vancouver artist Sharon Svec as we engage with the land and the changing seasons to explore the theme of transitions from many angles. Through a multidisciplinary arts approach\, workshop attendees will discuss transition\, reflect on transition\, plan an output based on their discussion/reflection\, and execute the output. Participants will have the option to have a recorded live performance at the end of the session. This workshop will serve to support personal\, as well as ecological transition\, with a focus on seasons\, cycles and natural patterns. Participants whose art-form requires specific tools/instruments will need to provide their own for this workshop. Please feel welcome to contact Sharon at sharon@smsvec.com for questions.Please note: This will be an all-day outdoor workshop\, so please come prepared to be in the weather. We will provide light snacks\, water\, tea and coffee throughout the day\, and will have a shade canopy and camp chairs as needed. Participants should pack a lunch\, water bottle\, extra snacks\,  a notebook and writing/drawing tool\, and articles of interest with consideration to transition (whatever has meaning to you and makes you think creatively).Please get in touch via email to arts@pnfarm.com if you have any accessibility needs that we need to be aware of\, or if you would like to access a full or partial scholarship through the Spirit Lake Scholarship Fund. We would love to work with you to make all PN Farm Arts Initiative workshops as accessible as we can\, so don’t be shy about getting in touch!About your instructor: Sharon is an artist with experience in design\, textiles\, communication\, theater and dance. Born and raised in the wilds of Southern Illinois\, she has a great affinity to the natural world. Sharon earned degrees in Visual Communication and Professional Media Practice from Southern Illinois University while side-hustling as a thespian\, receptionist and cartographer. Some of her most favorite creative experiences include the direction of “Onryo of Refuse\,” a butoh inspired performance in 2010\, and having been invited to exhibit her tapestries at the European Roma Institute of Arts in Culture in Berlin (2023).

SUMMARY:Inspired By Place:  Open Air Monotypes on the Farm
DESCRIPTION:NEW TIME and PRICE! — Now just 2 days!With Nanette Wallace and Lisa Ellis. In this two-day workshop we will create monotypes outdoors\, inspired by our surroundings at the beautiful Plas Newydd farm. This large family farm located alongside the Lewis River has a diverse landscape\, with rolling fields\, mature forests\, old barns\, wild flowers and plenty of watery goodness to draw inspiration from\, and a lovely farmhouse for us to take refuge in. Inspiration can take many forms when working in and around nature\, and any direction that inspires you will be supported in this workshop\, representational or non-representation. We will create one of a kind prints on paper\, monotypes\, with an emphasis on light\, value\, impulse\, experimentation and joy! We will apply and remove ink onto printing surfaces\, (aka plates) with brayers\, cotton cloths\, brushes\, and other tools to make original singular images printed on paper. This workshop will include a combination of instruction\, demonstration and individual work time. A range of additive and reductive monotype techniques will be covered. The workshop is open to all levels\, 18+; no prior experience is necessary. Workshop materials will be included with the exception of paper. Each participant will begin with some paper to experiment with\, and additional paper will be sold on a per-sheet basis. Each sheet is large enough to print 2 to 12 monotypes\, depending upon the size of your plate. Sheets of high quality printmaking paper cost up to $7.50 each\, plan to budget $15 (or more) for additional paper. We will provide an optional material list prior to the workshop; recommended papers will be listed on the materials list if you prefer to bring your own.The workshop will run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day (Saturday & Sunday). Light snacks\, coffee\, tea and water will be available free of charge. Participants should plan to bring lunch for each day\, comfortable shoes for walking and standing\, and layers of clothing for working outside in the fickle spring weather.  A $50 materials fee is included in the cost of the ticket for basic materials. See above for more detail on additional materials. Scholarships are available if cost is a barrier! Please email arts@pnfarm.com to inquire. We received a generous gift to seed our scholarship fund\, and don’t want to turn anyone away if we can help it!*** Please note — Ridgefield is about 45 minutes from most parts of Portland\, and an easy\, pleasant drive against most of the traffic of morning and evening commutes. If you’d like to stay in the area for the weekend\, please reach out to Abby at abbyb@pnfarm.com for advice about local accommodations.

SUMMARY:Random Weave Baskets with Julie Johnson
DESCRIPTION:New date!!It’s basket weaving time! In this class we’ll explore the basics of random weave by creating a melon-sized basket. Working with willows and red osier dogwood harvested from Plas Newydd Farm earlier in the year\, we’ll create baskets that are a true collaboration with the farm’s gorgeous wetland landscapes. All skill levels are welcome! Please bring a lunch\, clothes and shoes to be outside if weather allows a lunch time walk\, and your favorite pruning or kitchen shears. Julie Johnson has been weaving baskets for over 25 years and works primarily with plant materials that she and her husband gather during their explorations of Pacific Northwest landscapes. While also practicing many more traditional forms of weaving\, sculptural random weave baskets have become some of the most artistically-freeing forms of woven expression for her.

SUMMARY:Farm Arts Open House\, Take Two
DESCRIPTION:Come spend a day on the farm celebrating the arts\, and some of Ridgefield and Clark County’s most creative souls. All ages are welcome!There will be mini-workshops\, tasty food\, an art showcase\, and maybe even a farm tour. It’s not to be missed! Come learn about what’s in store for our second year\, and learn how you can be a part of things! We hope to see you! (The thing about beginnings is that it’s hard to say exactly when a thing gets started! December was the anniversary of the first paid arts workshop on Plas Newydd Farm. January is the anniversary of our giant planning meeting back in 2020\, before the world shifted under our feet pandemic-style. But March? March of 2023 saw the first two workshops under the official banner of the PN Farm Arts Initiative\, with Roxanne Bash and Christopher Luna paving the way for all the good that came after. Plus\, it’s Abby’s birthday month! So plenty to celebrate here\, with our second attempt at an Open House!)Here’s a tentative schedule. The blocks may move around\, and there may be additional offerings\, but here’s what it’s looking like at the moment!10 am: Book Arts with Jody & Alan Adams 11 am: Poetry Workshop with Christopher Luna 12 pm: Dried Flower Cards with Barbara AW Wright 1 pm: Weaving with Elliot Gajan 3 pm: Origami with Phuong Tran\, Megan Dudley\, and Bonnie Donovan

SUMMARY:Craft your own pen! – Wood Turning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, February 3rd for a wood-turning workshop and craft your own ball point pen from wood grown right here on the farm!Guided by sculptor Lila Ferber\, participants will  leave this class with a functioning ballpoint twist pen and simple instructions on how to change the ink. Never turned on the lathe before\, or interested in learning a new wood-turning skill?  This class is for you!  We’ll learn about fingernail gouges and carbide tools\, and how to go from raw wood to a finished product\, going through the steps of cutting\, drilling\, gluing and turning our chosen wood\, using lathes from Lila’s mobile wood-turning studio. Each participant will make their own unique pen shape\, then sand and finish it with walnut oil and beeswax.  At the end\, you will choose from gold\, silver\, and copper hardware\, to finish your custom-made writing implement\, ready for your own words\, or a perfect gift! How cool is that?? No experience or equipment needed. Bring lunch\, closed-toed shoes and clothes that can get dirty\, and a readiness to learn a new skill! Class size is limited to just 4 participants\, so don’t wait to sign up! Lila Ferber is a sculptor with 9 years of experience in the field\, including turning on the lathe and carving wood\, ice\, stone\, sand\, and foam.  She received her BFA in sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri\, and has spent years working at sculpture parks and museums around the US.  Studying under legendary KC woodturner Jon Wilson has inspired her to continue honing her craft and to share it with any and all eager students.  She encourages her class to channel their inner child by being creative and experimenting\, all while gaining new skills\, and friendships along the way.  Follow up questions are always welcome and free of charge as students continue turning on their own at home.

SUMMARY:Sun Transformations: Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:RAIN DELAY — THIS WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED AND WILL BE OFFERED AGAIN NEXT SUN SEASON! Join us for this all-day workshop exploring the captivating process of cyanotypes! We will use our imaginations\, chance\, and the magic of the sun to create stunning blue and white works of art. Cyanotype is an alternative photo process which uses chemicals and sunlight to create wonderfully mysterious pictures when rinsed in water! Also known as “sun prints”\, this accessible medium involves placing objects and materials onto treated paper\, becoming blue wherever the sun’s rays have reached it. This process is filled with surprises\, so bring your curiosity\, trust and openness with you to this workshop!Facilitator Rachel Mulder (she/her) is an artist and printmaker who indulges in experientiality. She will share this much-beloved practice with you in a hands-on\, exploratory way. We will begin with a wandering tour of the farm where we can gather plant materials and inspiration. Then Rachel will provide a brief demo and share some examples of her work. Each participant will get to create several smaller cyanotypes for the first half of this workshop using high quality hand-coated watercolor paper. After lunch\, we will discuss our experiments from the first half\, Rachel will offer additional techniques to explore\, and participants can create more works. Larger sheets of treated paper will be offered\, including a large scale collaborative piece for us to indulge in!We will utilize plant friends and other natural objects found on the farm\, as well as fabrics\, and an assortment of random objects. Feel empowered to bring your own special treasures\, as long as you don’t mind them baking in the sun for a bit.Ticket price includes $25 materials fee. Snack offerings of coffee\, tea and baked goods\, with gluten and dairy free options and fruit will be available throughout the day.  Please Bring:  Sack lunchWater bottleSturdy shoes for walking (electric cart or car available for the tour if needed for accessibility)Any treasures you want to use in your cyanotypesAccess notes: Masks strongly encouraged while indoors\, and Rachel will be wearing hers at all times. The main workspace where we begin our works of art will be indoors\, and we will venture out into the sun to expose and rinse our cyanotypes. Please dress appropriately for hot weather\, sun\, and clothing that will not mind potential water splashes. The space is NOT fully wheel-chair accessible. Please contact Abby at arts@pnfarm.com with accessibility questions as we will endeavor to accommodate you. **We aim to make this an accessible workshop\, so please get in touch at arts@pnfarm.com if the cost is a burden! Rachel Mulder lives in Portland\, Oregon\, with her two cats\, Opal and Tomasina. She was born in rural Wisconsin and when she was small she spent a lot of time sitting in the grass staring\, obsessing about animals\, watching cartoons and peeling her skin off. A process-oriented artist\, her work vacillates back and forth between meticulous obsession and playful experimentation. She makes drawings using a variety of media that often yield printmakerly textures – residual effects from earning her BFA in Printmaking at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2007.

SUMMARY:Canopy Time Art Walk/Roll/Ride
DESCRIPTION:If you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  — Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone TreeCanopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests)\, these adventures give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm\, and provide a deeper opportunity to feel the rhythms of the land\, observe the comings and goings of migratory birds\, watch the bud and bloom of native and invasive plants\, swat mosquitoes\, and dodge raindrops!Part nature journaling\, part phenological record-keeping\, these explorations are a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow. Bring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses. $10 per person. If cost is a barrier\, get in touch at arts@pnfarm.com and you will be welcome!

SUMMARY:Color in Plein Air
DESCRIPTION:*** This workshop is sold out. Email arts@pnfarm.com to be added to the waiting list. ***This two-day workshop will explore the fundamentals of plein air painting\, with a focus on strategic color concepts to capture the light\, atmosphere and emotion of the landscape. Participants will paint throughout the diverse Plas Newydd Farm property while considering the formal aspects of painting – color\, composition\, movement\, and space. Scott will lead participants in plein air sessions\, as well as color lectures and exercises.Please note this is a two-day workshop\, running from 8am-6pm both days. Please contact Abby at arts@pnfarm.com if you would like to be steered to nearby accommodations. Students should bring plein air gear\, water\, and a sack lunch. We will provide light snacks throughout the day.  Scott Gellatly is a Portland-based artist and instructor whose work straddles the line between representation and abstraction. His work has been exhibited nationally and was most-recently featured in the February/March issue of Plein Air Magazine.  www.scottgellatly.com  MATERIALS LISTThis workshop will be focusing on plein air painting in oil or acrylic. Color Palette:Titanium White (150ml or 3 @ 37ml)Cadmium Yellow LightIndian Yellow (Gamblin oils)\, Indian Yellow Hue (Golden acrylics)Cadmium OrangeQuinacridone Red (Gamblin oils)\, Primary Magenta (Golden acrylics)Ultramarine BlueCobalt Teal or Turquoise (Gamblin oils or Golden Acrylic)Painting Panels:Ampersand Gessobord panels are my favorite\, and they work well for both oils and acrylics. Their flat\, 1/8” panels are sturdy and easy to travel with. You can easily make your own by cutting hardwood/plywood panels and apply 2 – 3 coats of quality acrylic gesso to the surface. 1 @ 12” x 16 Panel taped out into a 2 x 2 grid with masking tape. 3 – 4 @ larger panels in sizes between 9” x 12” to 12” x 16”. Wet-panel Carrier:These are more important for oil painters\, as the slower drying rate of oils means you will need to safely transport your finished pieces. I recommend RAYMAR wet panel carriers\, as they are lightweight. Refer to their chart on their website listing the various sized panels their carriers will accommodate. For example\, their 10” x 12” carrier will accommodate panels that share the 12” dimension (including 9” x 12”\, and 6” x 12”). In lieu of a pre-made wet panel carrier\, a couple clean pizza boxes will work just fine. Easel:The main consideration with a plein air easel is that it is lightweight\, but large enough to support the size of paintings we’ll be doing in class. I recommend the UGO Pochade Boxes. They come in three different sizes – the middle and largest sizes will work well for the size of panels listed above. Unless your outdoor easel is equipped with legs\, you will need a tripod. I’ve used the MeFOTO Backpacker for years\, as its sturdy and lightweight. Palette:If the palette is not already part of your plein air easel\, consider using a class palette approximately 9” x 12”. Hardware store glass\, backed with foam core with duct tape around the perimeter is a cost-effective option. Oil/Acrylic Painting Brushes:Filbert or Flat\, three different sizes. Recommended brand: Princeton Aspen Other Materials:Painting medium for oil painting: Gamblin Solvent-Free GelMetal Palette knife\, “teardrop shape” such as RGM S.026Backpack to carry plein air gearCamping stool if you prefer to sit.SunscreenWide-brimmed hatBug sprayAdditional InformationPlease feel free to reach out anytime with any questions you may have regarding the supply list. I have a limited number of materials available to borrow if there is a financial barrier to acquiring what is needed for the class. My email address is scottgellatly@hotmail.com.
