This three-hour workshop with artist Kathleen Sweeney will begin with a guided garden walk at Kirkside Park (at Kirkside Driveway, Roxbury, NY) to forage for natural art materials and explore creative writing and awe walks in nature.
We will use the natural materials gathered to create unique, hand-sewn collage books. Birch bark, wildflower pigments, lichen and fungi will be woven into one-of-a-kind art objects. Rice paper, linen thread, botanical inks and writing materials will be provided.
Participants should bring a journal, water bottle and light lunch/snack. Please contact us if you require any accommodations to participate in the workshop.
