CCE's Master Gardeners Present: Flower Press Workshop & Color Theory for Gardeners

Presented by volunteer Master Gardeners from the Ulster Cornell Cooperative Extension, ArtPort Kingston is proud to present two, free and public collaborative offerings:

(1) A Nature Press Workshops for All Ages!

Led by the Master Gardeners, participants will make their very own nature press out of recycled materials to take home! Learn the history of the nature press also known as a herbarium. Preserve your love of nature! Use your pressed flowers and leaves in other projects.

(2) Color Theory for Gardeners by David Thiergartner

The art of gardening includes the visual impact of color. Color in all its forms - including the endless color spectrum of flowers, the subtle shades and textures of leaves and the importance of shrubs and trees in providing necessary background and depth of field. This program will explore principles and strategies to make compelling color design choices by delving into color wheel theory, exploring color combinations, enhancing vibrant seasonal changes and discovering the beauty of the cold color contrast of winter.

David has designed luxurious interiors throughout the country and his work has appeared in the New York Times, House Beautiful and numerous publications.
