Nourishing Nettles! ~ Herb and Printmaking Class

Wednesday, April 17th, 2024 * 5:00-8:15pm * Fireweed Community Woodshop

THIS CLASS HAS CLOSED. PLEASE WATCH FOR ANOTHER FIREWEED COLLABORATION COMING IN JUNE!

This is a repeat of last year's collaboration with print-making artist Jessie Merriam - an evening-long, plant-specific deep dive using print-making, herbal knowledge, and history

as tools for getting to know one, single plant.

We'll be focusing on nettles, a nourishing herb with many uses. We'll sample some nettle delights, learn a few medicinal uses for this green powerhouse, and then Jessie will lead us in creating our own woodblock prints honoring this prickly mainstay of early Spring. We'll have time while carving for conversation about this plant's remarkable versatility!

Registration is currently closed.

Herbs for Winter Wellness

Monday, November 20th, 2023 * 6:30-8:00pm * Anam Cara, 3612 Bloomington Ave S, MPLS

Winter cold and flu (and Covid!) season is upon us! Be prepared for taking care of yourself and your loved ones through the dark and cold months.

In this class we will cover herbal remedies for an array of symptoms, including cough, fever, sore throat, congestion, and fatigue. We will also spend a fair bit of time talking prevention and general wellness support for the stress of Winter. Discussion will include both medicinal herbs that may be new to you and kitchen herbs you probably already have on hand. There will be a lot of opportunity for collaborative learning - we all have at least a few tricks up our sleeves!

Come ready for a warm and cozy night of sharing what works for you and sampling some remedies I’ve prepared. Everyone will be sent home with a new remedy of their choosing and will have a chance to purchase more if they like.
