SUMMARY:Mapping Relations with Aditi Kini
DESCRIPTION:Mapping Relations: A participatory\, reflective\, visual exercise\nJoin Aditi Kini\, Bloedel Reserve Creative Resident\, for this unusual and engaging experience around writing and mapping. \n“Writing has nothing to do with meaning. It has to do with land-surveying and cartography\, including the mapping of countries yet to come.” – Gilles Deleuze \nMaps have defined our world: our borders\, our struggles\, our opportunities. They are part of every story—after all\, we have to get from point A to point B somehow. \nThe romantic notion of the flâneur still holds sway over the imagination of the budding writer. If only we could be so free\, detached\, and observant as Baudelaire or Benjamin—if only we could read the streets like text. The situationist dériviste (Debord) is more unpredictable\, and their movement through urban space disrupts its functional logic. Thoreau’s saunterer walks through nature unharried and unbothered\, “in the spirit of undying adventure”. \nBut what about walking through gardens\, through spaces that have been landscaped\, that present a deliberate marriage between the old and the new\, the tamed and the wild? In this workshop\, we will map our relations to the grounds\, our relations to all grounds and their histories\, discuss maps and mapping\, walking and talking. This exercise invites participants to pay attention to their unpredictable\, unstable relations with their surroundings. Each participant will create an idiosyncratic map. \nBring journal\, pen\, walking shoes\, water bottle\, anything else you may need. Perhaps bring a map that’s important to you. \nWHERE\nMeet at the Arrival Garden \nWHEN\nJuly 3\, 10:00 – Noon \nCOST\n$15 for Members\n$15 plus admission for Non-Members \nNot a member yet?

SUMMARY:Plein Air Painting for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Plein Air Painting for Beginners with Gigi Godfrey\nPainting on location allows artists to capture the emotional and sensory spirit of a moment in time. The plein air experience can be a challenge with changing light and weather. This workshop is designed to encourage a relaxed and fun approach to painting outdoors. The morning will include a review of materials & equipment\, followed by a short demonstration using some general guidelines in exploring composition\, simplifying large masses\, and observing nuances in color. Most of the time will be spent painting and getting feedback. \nBring what equipment you have\, keep it simple and light. Include a portable chair/stool if you have one. Bag lunches are allowed in the parking area. Bring a water bottle and a sun hat or visor—sunglasses are not effective for plein air painting. Dress for the weather. Plan to paint more than one scene\, remember that the light changes! Gigi teaches primarily oils\, acrylics\, or gouache. However\, many of the principles that will be reviewed cross over to most mediums. \nWHERE\nMeet in Arrival Garden \nWHEN\nMay 20\, 10:45 – 4:00 PM \nCOST\n$110 Members\n$150 Non-members (includes admission to the Reserve)\nA view finder and value scale are included in the price. \nNot a member yet?

SUMMARY:Tintype Family Portraits (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Tintype Family Portraits\nA Mother’s Day gift to remember! Tintype photographer and current Creative Resident\, Megan Karson\, will be on site creating unique handmade 4”x5” family portraits. Tintype photography was developed in the 1850s and was popular for portraiture\, especially during the Civil War era. These archival heirloom quality photographs are made using a metal plate coated with a specially prepared light sensitive emulsion. After a brief light exposure while taking the photograph\, the plate is then developed in a dark room. Only 14 spots are available. \nNote: This will take place outdoors. Cover from rain will be provided\, if necessary. Portraits will be available to pick up a few days after the event. \nWHERE\nYou will be directed when you arrive at the Reserve. \nWHEN\nMay 11\, 30-minute appointments from 9:30 AM through 5 PM \nCOST\n$85 Members\n$125 Non-members\, includes price of admission \nNot a member yet? Join here \nSOLD OUT\nNotes: Megan will send you a scan of your plate once the session is over\, and you are free to make copies of it as you please. Wear what makes you feel most comfortable and most like yourselves\, as these photos are a look into each person’s unique life. That being said\, here are some suggestions that pertain mostly to the nature of collodion photography. \n\nSolid black and solid white are not recommended because they take up so much attention and space in the image. Cool colors tend to appear much lighter and warm colors tend to darken (I.e blue will lighten and red will darken)\nThese images will develop backwards on the plate so any clothing with words will appear reversed\nPatterns\, textures and accessories add a lot of visual interest and character to the image
