Nature’s Medicine: Mixed Media Creativity Workshop

Create your own nature inspired mixed media piece in this creativity workshop. Using stencils, collage papers, and printed imagery of ferns, ravens, eagles and beyond you will create a layered piece of art that incorporates tactile textures and language. Instructor Melanie Rivers, Tiyaltelwet, will share teachings from her Squamish ancestry; learn how the Sqaumish Nation connects to the land, animals, and birds. Melanie will guide you through a meditation to connect with the imagery for your piece and lead you step by step in its creation. You will leave with your own uniquely expressed piece that you can hang on your own wall or offer as a gift. Relax and enjoy yourself in this welcoming workshop held in a safe learning environment. If you are new to art, Melanie welcomes the opportunity to introduce you to this mixed media approach. Materials are included and aprons are supplied, but it is recommended you wear clothes you can accept enduring paint drops. Date: Sunday, September 22, 2019 Time: 12 – 4pm Admission: $90 for General Admission, $85 for MOV Members Spaces are limited. Register early.
