Ag in Art: Land Based Craft Series - Eco-printing & Natural Dyes

“We have neglected the truth that a good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist.”―Wendell Berry, The Gift of Good Land: Further Essays Cultural and Agricultural

The Ag In Art: Land Based Craft project seeks to strengthen the connections between land-based folk art practices and the land itself. Our goal is that these folk art practices be more deeply understood, recognized, and practiced and that small-scale farms in Appalachia can access new markets and incomes by producing the materials needed by folk art practitioners.

Join us for a 1-hour natural dye garden planning workshop to learn how these crops could be added into your farm business or backyard garden.

Join us for a 3 hour hands on eco-printing workshop to create a beautiful, one of a kind bandana. Learn how to turn flowers, leaves and other natural materials into beautiful decoration for a unique bandana. Tickets include the materials cost and students will leave with an eco-printed bandana and the knowledge of how to continue doing this on their own.
