Join herbalist Emily Pearson Ryan and printmaking instructor Jessie Merriam for an exploration of violets. Violets are more than a delicate spring joy! Dig a little deeper into the story of violets and their moistening uses. Learn how the root shapes mimic their lymphatic soothing qualities. We will have lots of fresh plant material to play with, and students can sample refreshing drinks and learn about other preparations. 

Bring a notebook if you like for the herbal section.

For this intro to printmaking, the designs will be provided. Students will use sharp tools to carve 4x6" blocks and use water-based inks for printing, using methods easy to replicate at home.

Materials cost for this class is $35 and is included in the admission cost.
