PlantCraft 2024

Lieu : GOS Stone Road

Description :

Registration for this program opens on Tuesday, March 26th at 10 am.

PlantCraft is a 6-month, arts-based immersion into the worlds of plants. Step into deep connection and community with plants through art, craft, food and medicine.

Using plants for food, medicine, utility and adornment are practices both ancient and timeless. In this program, you’ll be invited to reconnect with skills that have been woven into our cultures, histories, and bodies for generations. Whether you’re an experienced artist or curious crafter, PlantCraft is designed to help you carve out time each month to nurture your creativity, on the land, in good company.

In PlantCraft, we learn by making and doing. We’ll explore local plant ecology through an arts-based lens, weaving baskets, carving with local wood, crafting herbal remedies, harvesting plant fibers and much more.

PlantCraft is guided by an ethic of care for the land. We’ll be working with plants for their beauty and utility, as well as investigating their role in the landscape. Along the way, we’ll learn responsible harvesting guidelines and practices for stewarding wild plant communities.

This program is for those who want to

• Deepen relationship with the plant world through embodied skills

• Cultivate hands-on skills and practices to share with your community

• Gain direct knowledge of key species that make up our local ecosystem

• Learn in a community setting with like-minded folks

PlantCraft is co-created by by Miki Tamblyn, Annie Sanassian and Dani Hagel, three artists and educators who believe in craft as gestures of care for ourselves, each other and the lands that sustain us. This year, we're honoured to be joined by guest instructors Cailey Campbell, Jen Britton and Matt Hamilton. We can’t wait to share some of the skills that inspire us.
