Gardeners’ Gathering with Handkerchief Dyeing

Join the Still Moon team for some fun getting your hands dirty, while connecting with other gardeners in the community and exchanging gardening knowledge.

Help to weed, water and maintain the garden, which provides the dye, fibre and medicine plants that Still Moon uses in its free and low-cost community arts programs.

At this session, we’ll experiment with dyes and you’ll take home a small handkerchief dyed with Red Madder (Rubia Tinctoria).

Gardeners’ Gathering with guest artists Masumi Rodriguez and Elena Kirby

Join the Still Moon team for some fun getting your hands dirty, connecting with gardeners in the community, and exchanging gardening knowledge.

Guest artists Masumi Rodriguez and Elena Kirby will share how they use papermaking to integrate work with ecologists and researchers into their artistic practice.  Papermaking is a tool to expand on notions of material meaning, cooperation, play, and slow process-based practices.

Nature’s Contours: Drawing with Line at the Dye Garden

Join Ada Dragomir, Visual Artist and Still Moon’s Eco-Arts Programs Manager, for a contemplative and attuned course in contour drawing. Contour drawing is a form of observational line-based drawing that attends to the shape and volume of a subject from real life. It’s a way to see beyond the details into the essence of a thing. It’s simple to learn and encourages a state of flow.
