Wild Indigo Forest Farm presents

The Artsy Fartsy Forest Club

Come make something weird, beautiful, useful, heartfelt, or gloriously unnecessary, with us in the forest.

An Art Circle for Curious Hands and Hearts

This is not an art class where everyone leaves with the same perfect little project. It is a playful gathering for experimenting, sharing supplies, following an idea and remembering how good it feels to make something with your own hands.

★

No Artistic Experience Required

Come exactly as you are. Curiosity, humor and a willingness to play are more important than skill.

★

Seasonal & Wonderfully Unpredictable

Gatherings may wander through collage, flower pressing, natural dyes, clay, wreaths, handmade gifts, forest finds and ideas we have not met yet.

★

Made Together at Wild Indigo

Expect warm drinks, seasonal bites, good conversation, forest air and enough room to let your imagination get a little feral.

Our first gathering

Visionboarding

Arrival is from 1:00 to 1:45 PM Eastern Time. Once everyone has had 45 minutes to arrive and settle in, we will head into the woods for a sensory forest bathing walk, also called sylvotherapy. We will slow down, notice the forest through our senses, and thoughtfully gather materials for our visionboards.

We will begin the year with an unrushed afternoon of vision boarding, collage and creative intention. Bring the dreams that feel practical, impossible, tender, enormous or still too shy to say out loud. Create a classic board to hang up, make a spread in your journal, start a pocket-sized collage, or fill a few pages with colors, words, drawings and plans. There is no single way a vision has to look.

We will have shared magazines, paper, scissors, glue, colorful materials and room to spread out. Bring a journal if you would like to work in one.

Start gathering your little treasures now.

If this gathering is calling to you, begin saving magazine cutouts, meaningful photographs, words, fabric scraps, pressed flowers, postcards, seed packets or other special found materials. Bring what speaks to you, even if you do not know why yet. We will have plenty to share, so you can also simply show up.

What Might We Make?

The club can change with the weather, the materials at hand and whatever everyone is excited to explore.

Vision boards & collage
Pressed-flower art
Seasonal wreaths & garlands
Forest-dyed fabric & paper
Clay, paint & mixed media
Handmade gifts & odd little treasures

Come for commUnity. Stay for the Weird Little Magic.

Gatherings will include shared materials, foraged and wildcrafted tea, Sunergos coffee, and seasonal bites. Project details, accessibility notes, timing, and any special bring-along requests will appear with each individual gathering.
