Our intention with these workshops is to teach participants how to utilize the plants we will be focusing on, creatively and medicinally. A vast majority of plants will produce beautiful ranges of color as well as having medicinal benefits that enhance physical and mental well being.

Open to all skill levels - these workshops will demonstrate how multi-faceted plants, mostly invasives, can be.

We are exciting to incorporate weaving into our workshops this year!

Our first workshop this year is garlic mustard! A tenacious plant generally viewed as unwanted nuance to most people who bravely try to keep its growth at bay. In this workshop, we will learn how to identify, forage and utilize it! We will also talk about ethical foraging practices, the invasive status of garlic mustard and the benefits of utilizing it as medicine.

Join us as we create a communal dye bath with garlic mustard we will be foraging on site. We will then experiment with silk scraps, ribbons, and yarn on your own lap loom to weave a textural tapestry - layering together naturally dyed materials to create a piece that reflects the landscape around us.

Each participant will leave their own small tapestry, an info packet with a materia medica and instructions on how to dye yarn on your own as well as some recipes that utilize garlic mustard that you can make at home!

Cost: $60

This workshop will be held in Walkill, NY - the address will be emailed to participants a day or two before the date.
