Botanical Dye Workshops
8/31:noon – 2pm
9/17:noon-2pm
Price: $65 per person
Sign up link:

Get an introduction to the art of flower and leaf pounding. The Tataki Zome is a Japanese technique of dyeing by hammering the leaf or flower to get beautiful prints on your textile. Each participant will design and dye their own pre-mordanted 27 x 27 towel.
The best part about Experiences with Botanical Dyes, is creating your own textile art. By using the flower and leaf pounding method or the bundle dye method, participants in this art workshop can create their own towel. The fabric used by students in the class is pre-washed with soda ash that gets rid of contaminants and a metal salt mordant used to help the natural dyes bind to the fabric. This process helps create beautiful and vibrant textile designs that last a long time and don’t fade. Participants will be given a wash and care guide for their new towel or shirt to keep the colors as bright as possible. Botanical dyeing with leaves and flowers is a fun and easy way to create beautiful and natural designs on textiles to wear or to use in your home.
I offer private group workshops on Botanical dyeing if the above dates don’t work for you. Please email Tara@mudhandcraft.com with email subject “Private Event” to check availability.

Meaning Making and Legacy Projects – North Coast EOL Collective
Offering: Meaning Making and Legacy Projects
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Registration (required) www.northcoasteolcollective.com/events-one/meaning-making-and-legacy-projects-543ym-ymhy5-7tzxw
Presenter: Carolina Starrett, MFA – Cofounder, North Coast EOL Collective
An artist talk and info session on the value of legacy projects in end-of-life care with co-founder Carolina Starrett.
Carolina Starrett, co-founder of the North Coast EOL Collective, explores the intricate structures of families, both physical and psychological, in her work. Originally from Southern California, Carolina contemplates the resilience inherent in each family iteration, considering how stories and language are embedded in the body and transmitted across generations.
With a dual focus on her roles as a doula and artist, Carolina employs materials and processes as tools for celebration and inquiry into how we collect, retain, and honor memories. Her artistic journey delves into the interplay between stories of family, community, and connection, inviting audiences to reflect on the profound capacity of objects to sustain and perpetuate relationships.
Carolina’s work meditates on the body as a vessel of love and memory, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring significance of these intertwined elements in the fabric of human experience.
Recent Acknowledgment: “Creative threads run through my family ……..Carolina Starrett and her Legacy Project work with the North Coast EOL Collective to hold the legacy idea close and dearly. My family’s legacy takes many forms – my grandmother and sister making clothes, my mother’s pottery, my father’s photographs, my niece’s fabric art, my sister’s dyed fabric, my brother-in-law’s paintings. To add my sketches to my family’s legacy took some resolve, as my work was intentionally snapshots of a year in time. But how else is a legacy created really, if not by multiple layers of stories, memories, impressions, creative marks made by, spoken by, or held by loved ones? This collection is my first Legacy project, maybe not my last. It was guided by the gentle, caring, and able hand of Carolina.”

Vitreography 101 with Mark Mahaffey at Hoffman Center for the Arts
August 10 & 11 | 10:00am-5:00pm
What is vitreography? Vitreography is a fine art printmaking technique that uses a float glass matrix instead of the traditional matrices of metal, wood or stone. This class is open to all experience levels!
Get your creative juices flowing in this hands-on introduction to the world of vitreography printmaking. This two-day workshop will focus on substrates, paper, use of matrices, materials, and watercolor monotype to create monoprints. As the workshop progresses, students will gain an understanding of the process of making a print from a glass substrate with all of its possibilities.
Instructor Mark Mahaffey will lead a discussion regarding different materials and how to create a surface to draw on using watercolor, watercolor pencils, and watercolor crayons. By the end of this workshop students will be comfortable using an etching press, including its setup, materials, and problem solving. Those who come with an open mind will learn a new process that can be built upon to make great art. Each participant will take home several prints of their creation.
Three seats still available for Wednesdays Old World Wine Tasting
The evening will feature two outstanding examples of Rioja and two of Chianti, and because traditional old-world wine shines brightest at the table, each wine will be thoughtfully paired with tasty bites.
