In this outdoor workshop participants will be provided with fresh leaves from the garden and transform them into vibrant, one-of-a-kind prints using gelli plates. As we create, we’ll explore leaf physiology such as shape, margins, venation, and arrangement. Participants will build both artistic skills and a deeper connection to the plants around us. Parental assistance is required.

We are looking for volunteers to help run the workshop. Send a DM if you are interested.
