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.
