Light Lunch is included
Workshop will consist of two sessions, morning and afternoon. Morning at grounds of Creekside Arts, afternoon along logging road in the redwoods.
Morning session will involve discussion of and experimentation with conceptual aspects of responding creatively to the environment, using materials found on site to create lines and forms. There will be demonstrations of hand construction techniques for use in the manipulation of live plants, for example braiding. Afternoon session will include walking into the redwoods along a logging road and exploring individual projects/responses to that more wild/less ordered environment. Projects would be up to the participants and might include the use of piling sticks, braiding and/or twisting living plants, etching into road-cuts or stumps, rearranging rocks/gravel along the road.
Participants- no more than 10 Participants will have time to think and breathe in the redwoods, learn to braid strap leaf plants, ponder the interaction between humans and nature, wonder about order and chaos, consider entropy and reflect on the continuum of ephemerality to permanence.
We will work with materials found onsite. These may include plants, sticks, rocks, dirt, tree stumps. It would also be useful to have some basic landscaping tools like pruners, a rake or two, shovels…
