SUMMARY:Farm Arts Open House\, Take Two
DESCRIPTION:Come spend a day on the farm celebrating the arts\, and some of Ridgefield and Clark County\’s most creative souls. All ages are welcome! \nThere will be mini-workshops\, tasty food\, an art showcase\, and maybe even a farm tour. It\’s not to be missed! Come learn about what\’s in store for our second year\, and learn how you can be a part of things! We hope to see you!  \n(The thing about beginnings is that it\’s hard to say exactly when a thing gets started! December was the anniversary of the first paid arts workshop on Plas Newydd Farm. January is the anniversary of our giant planning meeting back in 2020\, before the world shifted under our feet pandemic-style. But March? March of 2023 saw the first two workshops under the official banner of the PN Farm Arts Initiative\, with Roxanne Bash and Christopher Luna paving the way for all the good that came after. Plus\, it\’s Abby\’s birthday month! So plenty to celebrate here\, with our second attempt at an Open House!) \nHere\’s a tentative schedule. The blocks may move around\, and there may be additional offerings\, but here\’s what it\’s looking like at the moment! \n10 am: Book Arts with Jody & Alan Adams \n11 am: Poetry Workshop with Christopher Luna \n12 pm: Dried Flower Cards with Barbara AW Wright \n1 pm: Weaving with Elliot Gajan \n3 pm: Origami with Phuong Tran\, Megan Dudley\, and Bonnie Donovan

SUMMARY:Craft your own pen! – Wood Turning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, February 3rd for a wood-turning workshop and craft your own ball point pen from wood grown right here on the farm! \nGuided by sculptor Lila Ferber\, participants will  leave this class with a functioning ballpoint twist pen and simple instructions on how to change the ink.  \nNever turned on the lathe before\, or interested in learning a new wood-turning skill?  This class is for you!  We\’ll learn about fingernail gouges and carbide tools\, and how to go from raw wood to a finished product\, going through the steps of cutting\, drilling\, gluing and turning our chosen wood\, using lathes from Lila\’s mobile wood-turning studio. Each participant will make their own unique pen shape\, then sand and finish it with walnut oil and beeswax.  At the end\, you will choose from gold\, silver\, and copper hardware\, to finish your custom-made writing implement\, ready for your own words\, or a perfect gift!  \nHow cool is that??  \nNo experience or equipment needed. Bring lunch\, closed-toed shoes and clothes that can get dirty\, and a readiness to learn a new skill!  \nClass size is limited to just 4 participants\, so don\’t wait to sign up!  \nLila Ferber is a sculptor with 9 years of experience in the field\, including turning on the lathe and carving wood\, ice\, stone\, sand\, and foam.  She received her BFA in sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute in Missouri\, and has spent years working at sculpture parks and museums around the US.  Studying under legendary KC woodturner Jon Wilson has inspired her to continue honing her craft and to share it with any and all eager students.  She encourages her class to channel their inner child by being creative and experimenting\, all while gaining new skills\, and friendships along the way.  Follow up questions are always welcome and free of charge as students continue turning on their own at home.

SUMMARY:Sun Transformations: Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:RAIN DELAY — THIS WORKSHOP IS CANCELLED AND WILL BE OFFERED AGAIN NEXT SUN SEASON!  \nJoin us for this all-day workshop exploring the captivating process of cyanotypes! We will use our imaginations\, chance\, and the magic of the sun to create stunning blue and white works of art.  \nCyanotype is an alternative photo process which uses chemicals and sunlight to create wonderfully mysterious pictures when rinsed in water! Also known as “sun prints”\, this accessible medium involves placing objects and materials onto treated paper\, becoming blue wherever the sun’s rays have reached it. This process is filled with surprises\, so bring your curiosity\, trust and openness with you to this workshop! \nFacilitator Rachel Mulder (she/her) is an artist and printmaker who indulges in experientiality. She will share this much-beloved practice with you in a hands-on\, exploratory way. We will begin with a wandering tour of the farm where we can gather plant materials and inspiration. Then Rachel will provide a brief demo and share some examples of her work. Each participant will get to create several smaller cyanotypes for the first half of this workshop using high quality hand-coated watercolor paper. After lunch\, we will discuss our experiments from the first half\, Rachel will offer additional techniques to explore\, and participants can create more works. Larger sheets of treated paper will be offered\, including a large scale collaborative piece for us to indulge in! \nWe will utilize plant friends and other natural objects found on the farm\, as well as fabrics\, and an assortment of random objects. Feel empowered to bring your own special treasures\, as long as you don’t mind them baking in the sun for a bit.\nTicket price includes $25 materials fee. Snack offerings of coffee\, tea and baked goods\, with gluten and dairy free options and fruit will be available throughout the day.  Please Bring:  \n\nSack lunch\nWater bottle\nSturdy shoes for walking (electric cart or car available for the tour if needed for accessibility)\nAny treasures you want to use in your cyanotypes\n\nAccess notes: Masks strongly encouraged while indoors\, and Rachel will be wearing hers at all times. The main workspace where we begin our works of art will be indoors\, and we will venture out into the sun to expose and rinse our cyanotypes. Please dress appropriately for hot weather\, sun\, and clothing that will not mind potential water splashes. The space is NOT fully wheel-chair accessible. Please contact Abby at arts@pnfarm.com with accessibility questions as we will endeavor to accommodate you.  \n**We aim to make this an accessible workshop\, so please get in touch at arts@pnfarm.com if the cost is a burden! \nRachel Mulder lives in Portland\, Oregon\, with her two cats\, Opal and Tomasina. She was born in rural Wisconsin and when she was small she spent a lot of time sitting in the grass staring\, obsessing about animals\, watching cartoons and peeling her skin off. A process-oriented artist\, her work vacillates back and forth between meticulous obsession and playful experimentation. She makes drawings using a variety of media that often yield printmakerly textures – residual effects from earning her BFA in Printmaking at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 2007. \n \n

SUMMARY:Canopy Time Art Walk/Roll/Ride
DESCRIPTION:If you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  — Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone TreeCanopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests)\, these adventures give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm\, and provide a deeper opportunity to feel the rhythms of the land\, observe the comings and goings of migratory birds\, watch the bud and bloom of native and invasive plants\, swat mosquitoes\, and dodge raindrops! \nPart nature journaling\, part phenological record-keeping\, these explorations are a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow.  \nBring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses.  \n$10 per person. If cost is a barrier\, get in touch at arts@pnfarm.com and you will be welcome! \n[metaslider id=4496]

SUMMARY:Color in Plein Air
DESCRIPTION:*** This workshop is sold out. Email arts@pnfarm.com to be added to the waiting list. *** \nThis two-day workshop will explore the fundamentals of plein air painting\, with a focus on strategic color concepts to capture the light\, atmosphere and emotion of the landscape. Participants will paint throughout the diverse Plas Newydd Farm property while considering the formal aspects of painting – color\, composition\, movement\, and space. Scott will lead participants in plein air sessions\, as well as color lectures and exercises. \nPlease note this is a two-day workshop\, running from 8am-6pm both days. Please contact Abby at arts@pnfarm.com if you would like to be steered to nearby accommodations.  \nStudents should bring plein air gear\, water\, and a sack lunch. We will provide light snacks throughout the day.  \nScott Gellatly is a Portland-based artist and instructor whose work straddles the line between representation and abstraction. His work has been exhibited nationally and was most-recently featured in the February/March issue of Plein Air Magazine.  \nwww.scottgellatly.com \n  \nMATERIALS LIST\nThis workshop will be focusing on plein air painting in oil or acrylic. \nColor Palette:\n\nTitanium White (150ml or 3 @ 37ml)\nCadmium Yellow Light\nIndian Yellow (Gamblin oils)\, Indian Yellow Hue (Golden acrylics)\nCadmium Orange\nQuinacridone Red (Gamblin oils)\, Primary Magenta (Golden acrylics)\nUltramarine Blue\nCobalt Teal or Turquoise (Gamblin oils or Golden Acrylic)\n\nPainting Panels:\nAmpersand Gessobord panels are my favorite\, and they work well for both oils and acrylics. Their flat\, 1/8” panels are sturdy and easy to travel with. You can easily make your own by cutting hardwood/plywood panels and apply 2 – 3 coats of quality acrylic gesso to the surface. \n1 @ 12” x 16 Panel taped out into a 2 x 2 grid with masking tape. \n3 – 4 @ larger panels in sizes between 9” x 12” to 12” x 16”. \nWet-panel Carrier:\nThese are more important for oil painters\, as the slower drying rate of oils means you will need to safely transport your finished pieces. I recommend RAYMAR wet panel carriers\, as they are lightweight. Refer to their chart on their website listing the various sized panels their carriers will accommodate. For example\, their 10” x 12” carrier will accommodate panels that share the 12” dimension (including 9” x 12”\, and 6” x 12”). \nIn lieu of a pre-made wet panel carrier\, a couple clean pizza boxes will work just fine. \nEasel:\nThe main consideration with a plein air easel is that it is lightweight\, but large enough to support the size of paintings we’ll be doing in class. \nI recommend the UGO Pochade Boxes. They come in three different sizes – the middle and largest sizes will work well for the size of panels listed above. \nUnless your outdoor easel is equipped with legs\, you will need a tripod. I’ve used the MeFOTO Backpacker for years\, as its sturdy and lightweight. \nPalette:\nIf the palette is not already part of your plein air easel\, consider using a class palette approximately 9” x 12”. Hardware store glass\, backed with foam core with duct tape around the perimeter is a cost-effective option. \nOil/Acrylic Painting Brushes:\nFilbert or Flat\, three different sizes. Recommended brand: Princeton Aspen \nOther Materials:\n\nPainting medium for oil painting: Gamblin Solvent-Free Gel\nMetal Palette knife\, “teardrop shape” such as RGM S.026\nBackpack to carry plein air gear\nCamping stool if you prefer to sit.\nSunscreen\nWide-brimmed hat\nBug spray\n\nAdditional Information\nPlease feel free to reach out anytime with any questions you may have regarding the supply list. I have a limited number of materials available to borrow if there is a financial barrier to acquiring what is needed for the class. My email address is scottgellatly@hotmail.com.
