Wild Colors Open Table hosted by Members Abby Braithwaite and Kaylin Rose

Calling all lovers of color!

You have asked, we are making it happen! Join us for a day exploring the magic of wild pigments. Bring your experience and materials, or come with questions, ready to learn from the plants. There will be a few folks in the room ready to share what they’ve learned in their play with plants and color, but we’ll all be learning together!

If weather allows, we may get out for some foraging, but we’ll also have supplies available for ink and dye making, and maybe even some materials for botanical printing.  

Coffee, tea, water and light snacks will be provided. Please bring sack lunch and any special snacks you need (access to fridge, stove and microwave is available).

Accessibility Note: This workshop takes place in an historic farmhouse that is not currently wheelchair accessible. We will work to accommodate access however we can, but please email arts@pnfarm.com to confirm that the space will work for you before you commit to the workshop!

About your teachers

Open Table events do not have a designated teacher, and are designed to create a space for folks to come experiment in community, in a place where it’s safe to make a mess. This event will be co-hosted by Ridgefield artists Abby Braithwaite, and Kaylin Rose.
