Printmaking with Plants- July 20

By Christine KenneallyPublished On: April 1, 2024

Midsummer is alive and abundant in nature, with many plants reaching their peak growth and offering us beauty and inspiration. We’ll begin with a guided meditation, to connect our own inner light with the light and beauty all around us. With reverence, we will harvest some of the flowers and foliage in the garden and surrounding yard to preserve their beauty and essence using several printmaking techniques.

To celebrate and align with the abundant light present on this point in the earth’s cycle, we will join together and create luminous (and entirely compostable!) suncatchers.

As we do this work, we will honor the spirits of the plants with gratitude for the ways they will continue to nourish us throughout the winter season, as they live on in our co-creations. A flower essence will be made during this class and each person will receive a bottle.

The last hour of class, we will work together to create a glorious plant mandala on the lawn as an offering to the spirits of the plants.

I learned much more than I ever expected. Not only about mosaics, but about my creative abilities. I went into the class thinking I had none, but Christine pushed me to think outside the box and develop my creativity.

Christine is the best art teacher I’ve ever had. Her method of presenting techniques and information is so clear, and she has a terrific studio. I loved the class, it combines color , shape, texture and composition and wasn’t intimidating to learn. It was so much fun!

Christine is a great teacher- very organized, prepared, caring, talented, patient, instructive and inspiring. The class was perfect. She addressed everyone’s needs in a very individual way. I learned a tremendous amount.

Christine helped me to integrate who I thought I was with who I really am, or could be. She gently and compassionately steered me in the direction of my deeper truth. Her wise and non-judgemental mentoring left me feeling freer to risk being truer to myself.

Christine created a safe space and offered guidance that helped me have a deeper understanding of myself. I appreciate how present she was during our session and the genuine sense of connectedness I experienced. The insights she provided caused me to reflect, and reminded me to look within when seeking guidance. Her positive energy, calm demeanor, and kind nature resonated throughout our session.
