SUMMARY:Giving Season: Eco-Art Collage\, Gratitude\, & Reciprocity
DESCRIPTION:As we move into the season of giving\, this workshop centers around themes of gratitude and reciprocity. Using natural elements like leaf prints or mushroom stamps\, we’ll create collages that become meaningful gifts or meditative keepsakes. You will learn: How to use eco-art and collage as expressive and sustainable art forms\, ways to infuse gratitude and intention into handmade art\, and the value of reciprocity—both in nature and creative acts. You will leave with: A handmade eco-collage or print to gift or keep\, tools to continue sustainable art-making at home\, and a renewed sense of connection and appreciation for the season’s gifts. This event is coordinated by Hoyt Arboretum and registration is required through their website.
