SUMMARY:Introduction to Block Printing
DESCRIPTION:A Two-Day Workshop Experience \n\n\n\nWe are thrilled to welcome PN Farm Arts favorite Brian Tibbets back to the farm for a two-day workshop! Brian is a generous teacher\, and block printing is a relatively low-cost\, low-barrier way to begin making art that is part of a rich tradition spanning multiple cultures throughout the world.  \n\n\n\nFrom traditional Japanese woodcut block prints popular the world over; to the 2\,000-year history of block printing on fabric in India; to the rich tradition of etching\, wood engraving\, and other printmaking techniques employed in Europe since the Renaissance—printmaking continues to make art accessible to the masses\, both in terms of owning finished work and in terms of making it. \n\n\n\nIn this comprehensive two-day workshop\, designed for both beginners and those with some experience\, you’ll dive deep into the art of block printing through hands-on learning and exploration of single-color and multi-color techniques. \n\n\n\nDay One: Foundations of Block Printing \n\n\n\n\nIntroduction to block printing materials and tools\n\n\n\nUnderstanding different carving materials and their properties\n\n\n\nBasic image carving techniques using easy-cut materials\n\n\n\nAdvanced carving techniques for linoleum and woodcut blocks\n\n\n\nPaper preparation and ink selection\n\n\n\nPrinting techniques for creating clean\, consistent editions\n\n\n\nRegistration methods for precise printing\n\n\n\nPrinting a test print for designing a numbered edition of a block print\n\n\n\n\nDay Two: Multi-Color Techniques and the Provincetown Print \n\n\n\n\nOverview of multi-color block printing approaches\n\n\n\nColor theory and ink mixing for printmaking\n\n\n\nRegistration systems for multiple colors\n\n\n\nIntroduction to the Provincetown print: history\, concept\, and method\n\n\n\nDeep dive into Provincetown printing technique: working with a single block to produce multi-color prints\n\n\n\nColor overlay effects and transparency\n\n\n\nAlternative inking techniques including gradients and selective inking\n\n\n\nCreation of a Provincetown print edition\n\n\n\n\nThroughout both days\, participants will receive individual guidance and feedback while working at their own pace within the overall class schedule. More experienced participants will have opportunities to explore advanced techniques and push their creative boundaries. All participants will have the opportunity to produce test prints with instructor guidance of both a single-color print and a Provincetown print.  \n\n\n\nMaterials Included  \n\n\n\n\nCarving tools (for use during workshop)\n\n\n\nEasy-cut practice blocks\n\n\n\nLinoleum blocks\n\n\n\nBasic inking supplies\n\n\n\nPaper for printing\n\n\n\nRegistration guides\n\n\n\nSafety equipment\n\n\n\n\nWhat to Bring \n\n\n\n\nSketches or reference images for your prints\n\n\n\nApron or work clothes\n\n\n\nNotebook for taking notes\n\n\n\nOptional: any personal carving tools you prefer to use and your own water color\, acrylic\, tempera\, etc. paints for Day 2.  \n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited to ensure individual attention. All skill levels welcome. Participants must be 16 or older due to sharp tool usage. \n\n\n\nCoffee\, tea\, water and light snacks will be provided. Please bring sack lunch and any special snacks you need (you will have access to fridge\, stove and microwave if needed). \n\n\n\nAccessibility Note: This workshop takes place in an historic farmhouse that is not currently wheelchair accessible. We will work to accommodate access however we can\, but please email arts@pnfarm.com to confirm that the space will work for you before you commit to the workshop! \n\n\n\nIf you are in need of a full or partial scholarship to access this event\, please email arts@pnfarm.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our teacher \n\n\n\nBrian 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 shown work in group exhibitions\, juried shows\, and solo exhibitions at galleries\, coffee shops\, and bars around Portland since the late 1980s. \n\n\n\nHe began working primarily in block printing in the 2010s and is a member of Print Arts Northwest. A PAN Emerging Printmaking Resident in 2023/24\, he is now in his third year as an instructor at Pacific Northwest Farm Arts. His printmaking practice continues to evolve as he experiments with new techniques and materials beyond the block. \n\n\n\nHe is also a professional musician and the author of four books of poetry and prose\, and works as a nonprofit consultant\, grants researcher\, and grant writer.

SUMMARY:Canopy Time – May
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 Tree.  \n\nCanopy 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.  \nBring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses.  \nSuggested Donation of $10 collected on the farm. We’ll take cash\, check\, Venmo\, or a smile if cost is a barrier!

SUMMARY:Soup and Words – Drop-in Writing Time!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to sit and write together! \nThere is little I love more than sitting in a warm room with brilliant minds\, putting words on the page and sharing snippets of what we create. So I’m making the space for this in my life this year\, and I’d love to have you join me!  \nThere will be soup. There will be writing prompts. There will be time to share\, with (gentle\, loving) feedback if you want it. And there will be time to sit quietly and get some writing done. (And everyone knows reading is integral to the writing process\, so if what you need is a few hours carved out of each month with a good book and a cup of tea\, no one will be counting words produced!)  \nParticipation will be capped at 12 people\, so please RSVP to this free event so that we can keep the group size intimate and safe for sharing!  \nAccessibility Note: This workshop takes place in an historic farmhouse that is not currently wheelchair accessible. We will work to accommodate access however we can\, but please email arts@pnfarm.com to confirm that the space will work for you before you commit to the workshop!

SUMMARY:Weave with Willow: Market Basket Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Weave a willow market basket with Ridgefield artist Robin Brady  \n\n\n\nIn this 2-day class you’ll make a round\, handled basket in the traditional European stake and strand style — a great foundation for your future explorations in basketry.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll weave with a combination of cultivated and wild willows grown right here in Ridgefield and throughout the region. We’ll spend two full days weaving our baskets\, and as time allows we’ll discuss everything from harvesting willow to prepping your materials for weaving. This is a great class for beginners\, or any weavers looking to strengthen their basic stake and strand skills. You’ll come away with your own hand-woven willow basket great for going to market\, gathering\, storage\, and everyday household use. \n\n\n\nNote – Weaving with willow is hard work! Expect to spend 7 focused weaving hours per class day\, and to use your hand and upper body strength throughout the class. \n\n\n\nTicket price includes an $80 materials fee for the willow.  \n\n\n\nParticipants should provide: \n\n\n\n\nA fixed blade or locking knife\n\n\n\n\n\nYour favorite sharp pruners if you have them (or you may use the instructor provided ones)\n\n\n\n\n\nAny additional seating cushion\, back support\, or special chair you need to be comfortable\n\n\n\n\n\nLayers for sun/weather if you wish to work or have lunch outside\n\n\n\n\n\nLunch and a water bottle \n\n\n\n\nCoffee\, tea\, water and light snacks will be provided. Please bring sack lunch\, a water bottle\, and any special snacks you need (you will have access to fridge\, stove and microwave if needed). \n\n\n\nAccessibility Note: This workshop takes place in an historic farmhouse that is not currently wheelchair accessible. We will work to accommodate access however we can\, but please email arts@pnfarm.com to confirm that the space will work for you before you commit to the workshop! \n\n\n\nScholarships are available on an as-needed basis. Please email arts@pnfarm.com for more info. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout our teacher \n\n\n\nRobin Brady (she/they) is a queer craftsperson\, basket weaver and willow devotee.  \n\n\n\nThey tend a cultivated willow patch at their home and gather wild willow along nearby waterways. They live on Chinook & Cowlitz land in Ridgefield\, Washington\, under passing sandhill crane migration. They come to basketry via long time devotion to crafts and skill sets that keep them a student in the practice of direct and reciprocal relationship to the living world.  \n\n\n\nAs a weaver of mixed European settler descent\, they focus primarily on styles of willow basketry with roots in countries their ancestors once wove in\, while being in awe of the many brilliant weaving traditions belonging to cultures near and far. Robin was first introduced to basketry by Margaret Mathewson and other weavers in her watershed lineage and is honored to continue the tradition of passing along this love of working with willow. \n\n\n\nSee more at www.windfallcraftandbasketry.com
