Calendar

In this workshop, participants will engage with the river and local ecosystem to discover the interconnections between their creative process, the act of pollination, and the element of water. Through writing prompts and guided watercolor explorations participants will be supported through making contact with their creative blocks, allowing for these blocks to release and metamorphosize into flow. No prior experience necessary to participate. Each participant will leave with seeds and seedlings from a local micro-nursery to plant at home to contribute to pollinator pathways. They will also be gifted a watercolor set and sketchbook to paint their ongoing growth. This workshop is part of the Pittsburgh Creative Corps artist program series, presented by Shiftworks Community + Public Arts and made possible by the City of Pittsburgh’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Arts Programming initiative.
