Eco-Art Course- In Contact with Trees Workshop

Led by perform//print artist Elizabeth Tomos, this eco-art workshop focuses on the relationship between deforestation and climate change, addressing the importance of preserving and maintaining trees (particularly ancient and deciduous).

What the workshop involves:

*A reflective walk around the grounds of the eco-park interacting with the trees. This walk will include:

*Grounding mediation to support wellbeing in the face of climate grief, anxiety, and rage.

*Foraging and gathering materials to print with later in the workshop.

*Practices of more-than-human storytelling as a means of perspective taking and empathy building.

*Discussion as a group around our feelings about climate change, and how we build strategies for wellbeing, adaptation, resilience, and agency.

*Printing with beautiful homemade, plant-based inks on rice and rag papers, and an introduction to Elizabeth's own contact printing method.

*Collaborative printmaking exercise.

Materials:

All materials are provided (though you are welcome to bring your own foraged materials).
