This workshop series will teach basic cyanotype printing on paper and fabric, featuring plants and natural pigments cultivated at Earth Matter Soil Start Farms’ Heritage Beds. These four sessions will occur from May - September 2024 so that a cohort of 15-20 participants of all ages can make art with organic material throughout its life cycle from decomposition to seedling to early growth to maturity to seed again. Take home art every single session!
1 ticket covers all 4 sessions: Sundays from 1-3pm - May 5, June 16, July 14, and September 15
What to expect:
Family friendly hands-on farming and composting activities including harvesting of fresh and decomposing organic specimens. Digging into the dirt is encouraged in this art-making class! All four workshop dates will be hosted at Earth Matter's Soil Start Farm and Compost Learning Center on Governors Island. Roundtrip ferry tickets are included.
Educators:
Bryen Pittner, Farm Artist & Facilitator, Earth Matter
