Description

Welcome to the second in a series of monthly workshops! These workshops were born from my passion and delight in bringing people together to experience the joy of community, creativity, and beauty.  Each workshop will explore a new medium —  the table is prepared, the content is ripe for our enjoyment, and all that is needed is for you to take the time to play. Whether you are overflowing with creativity or you want to step into something new, these workshops are for you. No previous experience is needed, this is a space for all!

This is your invitation to turn off your screens, step into an inspiring environment, enjoy good company, and work with your hands.

Workshop Details:  

Join us for a plaster casting workshop. Work with your hands to make a special piece of art perfect for the wall or home decor! Let nature be your muse at this workshop hosted outdoors at a beautiful farm in Franklin. Tables will be spread with all the supplies to make pressings and casts using a variety of objects, including the fall produce harvested from our backyards. Visit and listen to live music as we wait for the casts to dry.  Light refreshments will be included. Come and enjoy this beautiful setting and the wonderful company around the table. 

Please Bring:

any small item to press into plaster, such as rubber stamps, wax seal presses, figurines, broaches, coins, medallions, shells, small objects, keys, small berries/veggies, leaves and flowers (that are not too delicate). Words or letters cannot be reversed (as most rubber stamps are). A variety of pressing options will be provided as well. You will be able to choose between a 3” circle or a 6x6” square with rounded corners.
