SUMMARY:Natural Impressions: Botanical Gel Plate Printmaking: with Kathy Pike
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 17\n10:00 AM – 4:00 PM\n$75\nAll Skill Levels are Welcome\nSupplies Provided\n \nDiscover the artistry of botanical Gel Plate printmaking as you transform leaves\, flowers\, grasses\, and other natural elements into richly layered\, one-of-a-kind works of art. Through a series of guided demonstrations and creative exploration\, you will learn the foundational techniques of pulling successful prints\, building luminous layers\, working with color\, texture\, transparency\, and creating beautiful ghost prints that add unexpected depth and visual complexity. \nAs your confidence grows\, we will move into more advanced processes\, including a rotational printing technique that produces elegant abstract botanical compositions. We will also explore how a variety of fine art papers respond differently throughout the printing process\, allowing you to experience how surface\, absorbency\, and texture influence the final image. \nWhether you are new to Gel Plate printmaking or an experienced artist seeking fresh inspiration\, this workshop offers an engaging balance of technical instruction and creative freedom. Throughout the day\, you will develop a collection of original botanical prints that can stand alone as finished artworks or become beautiful elements for collage\, art journals\, handmade books\, greeting cards\, mixed-media paintings\, and other creative projects. \nBeyond learning new techniques\, this process invites curiosity\, experimentation\, and a deeper appreciation for the remarkable patterns\, textures\, and quiet beauty found in the natural world. \nStudents will leave with a strong foundation in botanical Gel Plate printmaking\, expanded creative confidence\, and a diverse portfolio of original prints ready to inspire future artistic exploration. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Fall Wellness Series - Still Flowing Water: with Marcia Weese and Lisa Goddard
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 18\n10:00 AM – 12:30 PM\n$65\nAll Skill Levels are Welcome\nSupplies Provided\n \nWith a guided meditation by Lisa\, we align ourselves with our breath and body. \nWe then use watercolors in the Alla Prima style\, a wet-on-wet technique. \nWe paint with water\, drop the pigment in and watch the image appear. \nFollow the breath \nFollow the water \nLet go and surrender \nLet the painting paint you \nPaint with artist Marcia Weese \nMeditate with the founder of Roaring Fork Insight\, Lisa Goddard \nRegister\n  \n \nMarica Weese\nMarcia Weese grew up in downtown Chicago and spent her childhood roller skating between the dense urban landscape and the natural world of crows\, lightning bugs\, oak trees\, and prairie grass. Her deepest inspiration comes from the natural world. This world informs her art\, which these days takes the form of works on paper and prints.  \nWith a background in sculpture\, Weese works with several monotype techniques that combine texture with sculptural forms while capturing a luminosity that makes these voluptuous works on paper glow from within. Using the printing process to build layers of color\, she ‘carves’ into the color field by wiping away just enough ink to reveal the hidden image.  \nShe also employs the Alla Prima technique with watercolors. This wet-on-wet process allows for spontaneity and a looseness that she finds captivating. There is a palpable ‘object’ quality in Weese’s work that tugs on the boundaries between painting\, drawing and sculpture.  \n \nLisa Goddard\nLisa Goddard has been practicing meditation and yoga since 1997 and has been facilitating these practices since 2002.  Inspired by both the Zen and Insight traditions\, Lisa received training through Insight Meditation Center\, Green Gulch Farm Zen Center\, Spirit Rock Meditation Center\, Zen Hospice Project\, Mindful Schools and the Sati Center for Buddhist Studies. She is a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator through UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior\, and received Dharma Leader Certification through Insight Meditation Center.  \nLisa is a fledgling artist\, poet\, musician\, mother and mountain dweller who trusts that the beginner’s mind is truly our deepest teacher.
