T6DH Workshops

Learn how to create color from the natural world. Working with

mycelium as a medium and botanical palettes we will create our own work of art. 

All materials are provided.

I have been an artist for 30 years, but it has only been the past seven years that I have taken the deep dive into sustainability, botanical palettes, and organic recipes. I have been researching mycology and participating in residencies to learndirectly from scientists, biologist, mycologists, anthropologists, color practitioners, marine biologists, and a variety of artists and creators who are making changes in the world through their art. In my workshops, you will learn why trees are important to artists in the creation of botanical painting. We will discuss mordants, tannins and mordant modifiers. We will also discuss Paleolithic; earth palettes, investigate fossils and create our own color from fall leaves, fruits, flowers, and a variety of other organic materials.  Every workshop includes all the materials you will need.  One time a year I host a special workshop and partner with sustainable brands. In these workshops students receive gift bags to inspire the greening of our homes, our bodies and our lives.
