Create Art from the Earth: Foraged Pigments & Japanese Woodblock Printing

Join our peer worker James and volunteer Jade for a unique, hands-on course that blends creativity, nature, and tradition. Over the course, you’ll forage natural materials from the local landscape; rock, earth, and plants, and transform them into your very own handmade paint palette.

You’ll discover the fascinating process of turning raw earth and plant material into vibrant dyes and pigments, learning the science behind each step. Then, using your custom palette, you’ll bring your creations to life through the timeless technique of Japanese woodblock printing.

Whether you’re an artist, a nature enthusiast, or simply curious to try something new, this immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to connect deeply with the land, explore ancient craft, and express yourself through truly original artwork.”
