Herb and Print-making Class
Wednesday, November 20, 2024 * 5:15-8:30pm * Fireweed Community Woodshop
At the beginning of evergreen season, artist Jessie Merriam and I are offering an evening-long deep dive into Cedar- using print-making, herbal knowledge, and history as tools for getting to know the many species who share this name (with a focus on our local Eastern White Cedar / Thuja occidentalis).
I'll share what I know about the history and botany of the plant, and we'll discuss medicinal, material, and spiritual uses. Then Jessie will lead us in creating our own woodblock prints honoring this sturdy, and pest-resistant beauty.
We'll have time while carving for more conversation about Cedar!
Registration opens soon on the Fireweed website: https://fireweedwoodshop.org/Classes.
