SUMMARY:Winter Twig ID
DESCRIPTION:When deciduous trees lose their leaves each year\, one of their biggest and most conspicuous characters is lost: their leaves. But all is not lost! Join arborist Casey Clapp\, creator and co-host of the tree podcast Completely Arbortrary\, in this identification course focused on what the leaves leave behind: the twigs. This course will be an introduction into how to identify trees during the winter time using only their twigs and will feature a quick discussion on what to look for followed by a walk through the Arboretum picking out individual trees and examples.

SUMMARY:Golden Crane Society Opening Reception for "Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen"
DESCRIPTION:This February\, Portland Japanese Garden is pleased to present Earthen Elegance: The Ceramic Art of Bizen in the Pavilion Gallery. On loan from the Collection of David Sneider and Naomi Pollock\, this exhibition celebrates contemporary ceramic art and vessels that preserve a time-honored collaboration of earth\, fire\, and the artist’s hand. Recognized as one of the Rokkoyō (六石窯) Six Ancient Kilns of Japan\, Bizen is a ceramic center that has continued its unique form of pottery for over 900 years. Notable for their rustic\, textured\, and unglazed forms\, the ceramics featured in Earthen Elegance reveal the depths of the Bizen pottery tradition. Today the town of Bizen hosts nearly 300 active kilns with artists continuing to use local materials and an ancient wood-firing process. Featuring work by many of Bizen’s leading potters including Jun Isezaki and Ryuichi Kakurezaki\, the exhibition presents both functional vessels and innovative sculptural forms that expand the frontier of Bizen ware.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Following Fire and Fire Maps
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Discovery Museum’s art gallery for a behind the scenes conversation with the creators of World Forestry Center’s featured temporary exhibitions. Following Fire\, A Resilient Forest / An Uncertain Future by photographer David Paul Bayles and disturbance ecologist Frederick Swanson\, studies the recovery of 173\,000 acres of forests and towns that burned along the McKenzie River during the Holiday Farm Fire in Oregon in 2020. Photographs weave a complex story of forest and community resilience in the face of growing challenges and uncertainties. Fire Maps is an installation created by artist Kate Simmons and is inspired by her personal experience with wildfire evacuation during the Riverside Fire of Oregon that affected 138\,054 acres of land along the Clackamas River and Mt. Hood National Forest in 2020. The forms are molded from clay with immediacy to reflect the sudden and abrupt demand for people to evacuate their homes in response to the wildfire threat. The surface decoration of the figures is informed by satellite maps that tracked the progression of the fire and roadside evacuation markings left by authorities.

SUMMARY:Living Traditions 2025: The Future of Social Resiliency and Natural Environment
DESCRIPTION:Join Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden at the World Forestry Center in our shared home of Washington Park for the second in-person installment of Living Traditions\, a series of conversations and talks that explore some of the most iconic facets of Japanese culture.  \n“The Future of Social Resiliency and Natural Environment” will explore new frontiers in the cultural fusion of American ingenuity\, technology\, and craftsmanship with Japanese aesthetics. Keynote speaker Hitoshi Abe is a leader in diverse architectural projects bridging Japan and the U.S. and will be among those who speak to how multi-culturalism can foster resiliency in the international community.  Joining Abe in this forum will be a panel discussion featuring luminary speakers including Sadafumi Uchiyama\, landscape architect and Curator Emeritus of Portland Japanese Garden. Frank Feltens (Curator of Japanese Art at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art) will moderate this dialogue on how social infrastructure such as art\, gardens\, and other public spaces can create a safer environment and creative civic discourse.
