Join us for a creative spring day at our private, wooded 1,000-acre ranch and nature preserve in the Sierra Foothills, surrounded by wildflowers and breathtaking natural beauty.
Our day will begin with a guided introduction to printing on fabric using natural elements. After the lesson, we’ll head out on a short hike to experience spring in full bloom while gathering leaves, flowers, and other botanical treasures to use in our prints. Following the hike, you’ll create a beautiful nature-imprinted canvas bag, preserving the textures and shapes of the natural world.
To complete the experience, you’ll also learn how to make handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds—something you can plant and watch grow long after the day is over.
Highlights of the day include:
• A guided introduction to nature printing with ink
• A scenic hike to gather leaves, flowers, and inspiration
• Creating nature impressions on a handmade canvas bag
• Learning how to make handmade seed paper
• Afternoon tea and snacks
• Registration includes a handmade reversible canvas bag and several sheets of seed paper
Treat yourself to an afternoon in nature and create something beautiful!

“The beauty of the world lies in the details.”
-Natalie Angier
Friends for over 20 years, we have explored our love of art through the beauty of nature. Finding ways to incorporate recycled materials into our projects along with natural materials we create a variety of meaningful pieces. Running different classes, we share our passion and have helped people of all ages capture a piece of the world to create something unique to them. We are excited to share this experience with you as we slow down and take a step back to embrace all the beauty that nature holds around us. Hope to see you there!
