“Where Printmaking meets Herbalism”

Experience the wonders of plant medicine and the art of printmaking! Each class will focus on a particular plant ally and print technique. Students leave with a more holistic understanding of the plant’s gifts through meaningful hands-on interaction. Participants gain a deeper appreciation for the natural world through the creative process.

We typically begin with a short lecture from the herbalist about our chosen plant, its properties, benefits, how and where it grows, how to ethically harvest or sustainably source it, historical uses, folklore, and more. We will then formulate a tincture, salve, tea blend, vinegar, etc. using the plant. During the printmaking section of the class, you will partake in a demonstration of a printmaking technique that incorporates our plant of the day. Students are guided through making their very own prints by engaging a range of print mediums including copper etching, relief carving, screen printing, monoprints, drypoint engraving, and more
Not only will you leave with new knowledge and skills; you get to take home an herbal offering and handmade prints!
