Exhibits & Events

In this workshop, we will make a lake pigment from plants found in Riverfront North's parks.

Laking is a process of extracting color from plants and turning it into a insoluble powder that can be mixed to make paint. We will use the pigment to make watercolor and try painting with plants!

You can register for this class in person starting August 19th. Online registration opens September 2nd.

There will be a second workshop at Borski Park on September 12th from 10:00am-12:30pm(you can attend both)

In the second workshop, we will use the pigment created in the first workshop to make printing ink. We will then make original prints from plants we harvest at the Park.
