SUMMARY:Linoleum Block Printing -- With Brian Tibbetts
DESCRIPTION:Linoleum Block Printing: A Two-Day Workshop Experience with Brian Tibbetts The number one wish from the folks who attended Brian’s first workshop back in 2023 was that they had another day to refine their skills\, so that’s what we are offering up for this spring. We hope you’ll join us!Block 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. In this comprehensive two-day workshop\, designed to suit both beginners and those with some experience\, you’ll dive deep into the art of block printing through hands-on learning and exploration of both single-color and multi-color techniques. Day One: Foundations of Block Printing Introduction to block printing materials and toolsUnderstanding different carving materials and their propertiesBasic image carving techniques using easy-cut materialsAdvanced carving techniques for linoleum blocksPaper preparation and ink selectionPrinting techniques for creating clean\, consistent editionsRegistration methods for precise printingCreating and printing a numbered edition of your first block printDay Two: Multi-Color Techniques and Advanced Methods Introduction to multi-color block printing approachesColor theory and ink mixing for printmakingRegistration systems for multiple colorsReduction printing techniquesMultiple block printing methodsColor overlay effects and transparencyAlternative inking techniques including gradients and selective inkingCreation of a multi-color print using your choice of techniqueThroughout both days\, participants will receive individual guidance and feedback while working at their own pace. More experienced participants will have opportunities to explore advanced techniques and push their creative boundaries. All participants will leave with their own completed editions of both single-color and multi-color prints. Materials Included: Carving tools (for use during workshop)Easy-cut practice blocksLinoleum blocksBasic inking suppliesPaper for printingRegistration guidesSafety equipmentWhat to Bring: Sketches or reference images for your printsApron or work clothesNotebook for taking notesOptional: any personal carving tools you prefer to useLight breakfast\, coffee\, tea and water will be provided. Please bring a sack lunch and a water bottle. Participants have access to refrigerator\, microwave and stove\, and a 1 hour lunch break will be built into both days. You will note two separate tickets below\, with different materials costs included in each. Please be sure to choose the appropriate one so we can have your materials ready for you!  If you are a beginner with no tools\, your ticket will include an $85  fee for everything you need for the weekend. If you are coming equipped with your own tools\, the fee is $45 for linoleum blocks\, ink\, and paper. Space is limited to ensure individual attention. All skill levels welcome. Participants must be 16 or older due to sharp tool usage. 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 primarily in block printing in the 2010s and is a member of Print Arts Northwest\, and was a PAN Emerging Printmaking Resident in 2023/24. 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.  Please note: If you have accessibility needs\, please reach out and we will work to accommodate you. While we strive to make our workshops accessible to all\, we are located in a historical home that does not have accessible restrooms; our lowest entrance has two steps to enter. We may be able to accommodate you with advance notice\, so don’t be shy to reach out. We do not require masks at most events\, but we do have masks available on site\, and run high quality air filters\, and ask that if you are not feeling well\, please stay home. Refunds or credit for a future workshop can be made available. We do have a scholarship fund! Reach out to arts@pnfarm.com to request financial aid for this workshop.

SUMMARY:Soup and Words – Drop-in Writing Time!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to sit and write together! There 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! There 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!) Participation 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!

We’ll take cash\, check\, Venmo or a smile\, if cost is a barrier!

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:Soup and Words – Drop-in Writing Time!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to sit and write together! There 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! There 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!) Participation 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!

SUMMARY:Canopy Time -- January
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. Canopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm.

We’ll take cash\, check\, Venmo or a smile\, if cost is a barrier!

SUMMARY:One-Backpack Plein Air – Pack Light and Paint Bold!
DESCRIPTION:We’re so delighted to welcome Portland-based painter and teacher Scott Gellatly back to the farm for another two-day dive into plein air painting! This workshop is likely to fill up\, so register early to guaranty your spot!This two-day workshop will explore the fundamentals of plein air painting\, with a focus on strategic color concepts while capturing the light\, atmosphere\, and emotion of the landscape in a bold\, responsive manner. Participants will paint throughout the diverse Plas Newydd 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 demonstrations.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.There is no materials fee for this workshop\, but there is an extensive collection of supplies you will need to bring in order to participate. If you have questions about items on the list posted below\, please reach out directly to Scott via email. 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 featured in the February/March 2023 issue of Plein Air Magazine. Scott is represented by LAURA VINCENT DESIGN & GALLERY in Portland. MATERIALS LIST This workshop will be focusing on plein air painting in oil or acrylic. Color Palette: Titanium WhiteCadmium 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. 7 – 8 @ panels\, sizes 6” x 8” or 8” x 10”. 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. Oil/Acrylic Painting Brushes: Flat sizes 6 & 10. Recommended brand: Princeton Aspen (or similar)  Other Materials: Painting medium for oil painting: Gamblin Solvent-Free GelSpray bottle or retarder medium if working in acrylicsMetal Palette knife\, “teardrop shape” such as RGM S.026. No plastic palette knives.Backpack to carry plein air gearCamping stool if you prefer to sit.Rags/paper towelsBug sprayAdditional Information Please feel free to reach out anytime with any questions you may have regarding the supply list.

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:Soup and Words – Drop-in Writing Time!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to sit and write together! There 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! There 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!) Participation 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!

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). She currently works in the fields of art and design.

SUMMARY:Canopy Time -- August
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. Canopy 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. Suggested Donation of $10 collected on the farm. We’ll take cash\, check\, Venmo or a smile\, if cost is a barrier!
