This will be an afternoon of painting with natural dyes and getting your hands stained with petal paint. We will pick flowers grown on the farm, to create a beautiful floral still life arrangements for you to draw along with ample design objects in the space to spark your creativity. 

 

Too often we aren't allowed to let loose and make without expectation. This is an afternoon meant for you tap into your creativity. Let your wild side free through playing with the medium of natural dyes. Finger painting allowed. In moderation...

I will provide natural watercolors, tea paints, natural dyes, watercolor paper and a variety of brushes and mark making tools on an immersive tablescape.

I begin with leading a few illustrative exercises for you to get comfortable with exploring the medium for the first 45 minutes of class. The final hours are rest of the session are up to you! I will be present to help with any questions you may have.

The 10,000 square foot farm, located by the East River was established in Summer of 2022 and serves as a production, research and education farm. The farm hosts a variety of educational workshops, farm tours, and operates a weekly farmers’ market. 

The Oko Farms Aquaponics Education Center occupies land that was once home to the Lenape people who stewarded the land using the Seventh generation principle —that decisions that involve the land must be sustainable for seven generations to come. "
