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 TreeJoin us for the first of a series of monthly (ish) drop-in walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests)\, these adventures will give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm\, and will 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 informal explorations will be a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow. June is a beautiful time here\, before the heat of the summer sets in\, and hopefully before the mosquitoes hatch. Bring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses. And maybe a bottle of water!Asking for a suggested payment of $10-$20\, which we will collect on the day of the event. No preregistration necessary\, unless you need directions!

SUMMARY:Intro to Block Printing
DESCRIPTION:(Price includes a $50 equipment fee)\n\n\n\n\nBlock printing is a relatively low-cost\, low-barrier\, and easy way to begin making art that is part of a rich tradition of printmaking\, spanning multiple cultures throughout the world. From the Japanese woodcut moku hanga prints\, depicting the “Floating World” or Ukiyo-e; to the 2000-year history of block printing on fabric in India; to the rich history of etching\, wood engraving\, and other printmaking techniques employed in Europe since the Renaissance\, printmaking continues to be a way to make art accessible to the masses both in terms of owning the finished product and in terms of making the art itself. \n\nIn this one-day workshop\, you will learn about block printing materials and tools\, how to carve a basic image using easy-cut materials\, how to carve a more detailed image into a linoleum block\, and how to prepare paper and ink to print a numbered edition of a complete work of art. \n\n\n\nStudents will leave the class with a finished print of their own making\, a carved easy cut and a carved lino block for producing numbered editions at home\, and all of the equipment necessary to continue on the adventure of block printmaking on their own.     \n\n\n\nEquipment fee pays for easy cut block\, linoleum block\, Speedball linoleum cutter with interchangeable tips\, bench hook/inking plate\, and brayer.  \n\n\n\n\nCoffee\, tea and light snacks will be provided. Participants should bring a bag lunch and comfortable walking shoes!\n\n                                \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Your Instructor:  Brian first began making visual art in his late teens\, painting with oils on old vinyl roll-up window blinds found in the closet of his double-studio apartment. He took a handful of painting and mixed-media classes at Pacific Northwest College of Art and Portland Community College\, but is primarily self-taught. He has been a part of group exhibitions\, juried shows\, and solo exhibitions at galleries\, coffee shops\, and bars around Portland since the late 1980s. He began working exclusively in block printing in the late 2000s. He is also a professional musician and the author of four books of poetry and prose. He works as a nonprofit consultant\, grants researcher\, and grant writer.

SUMMARY:Pysansky—The Art of Ukrainian Easter Egg Dying
DESCRIPTION:**Please note change of date! This workshop has moved to Saturday\, March 18th!** Ever wonder how those beautiful Ukrainian Eggs\, called Pysanky\, are made? Come find out in an afternoon over tea and musing with friends (old and new) how this batiking style of egg dyeing is done. All supplies provided\, and yours to take home. Ukrainians have carried this traditional egg decorating form\, and exchanging with loved ones\, from Pagan times to modern day with geometric symbols designed to deliver well wishes to the receiver.\n\n\n\n\nRoxanne Bash has been making Pysanky since the age of 17. Although she is not Ukrainian\, she learned this traditional artform from a friend whose family immigrated from the Ukraine many years ago. The family impressed on her that they were sharing this tradition with others in the hopes of keeping it alive. This class is Roxanne’s way of helping accomplish that goal.\n\n\n\n\nWorkshop fee covers the cost of supplies\, and in lieu of collecting a fee for her time\, Roxanne invites participants to make a donation to support Ukrainian war relief and refugee efforts. Feel free to make a donation to the organization of your choice\, or bring a cash donation to the event and we will make a plan for a group donation.\n\n\n\n\nCoffee\, tea and light snacks will be provided.
