Printmaking

Forage for fungi and make mushroom spore prints in this two-part workshop.

During the first session on October 21st, Ridgfield artist Barbara Wright will share mushroom knowledge and lead participants on a foraging expedition to gather mushrooms from the farm. By the end of the first day, participants will have staged their gathered mushrooms to collect spores over the course of the week. Barbara will share the basics of spore printing, and help participants set up to collect the spores (it takes a few days for the magic to appear!)

Participants will store their works in progress on the farm, and when we gather again on October 28th, Barbara will share techniques to make one-of-a kind art from mushroom spore prints.
