Project Overview
Workshop participants enter into new understandings about flora and color by asking the flowers to help us tell a colorful and intimate story of place. This is a relatively simple task. Once you’ve been through the process, you can take it with you anywhere you go, sharing the simple beauty of nature from the places you visit.
As with other workshops, we learn about plants, their colors, and the complex neighborhoods of living relationships which they are a part of. We also learn how to tell the story our relationships with a place in a different and more intimate way than buying a photo postcard.
