You are kindly invited to the Kreenholm Plants resident Michaela Casková (CZ/FI) open workshop in the garden!
During the workshop the artist will let the participants take her out for a walk around Narva. While walking we will forage for materials that will in an experimental garden laboratory turn into inks and dyes. We will together create, share, taste and experience the colour code of Narva weather.
What is the journey of nettles collected on one sunny summer day?
What is the taste and colour of your memories of one particular rainy day?
Which shades of weather do you remember?
With whom do you share the weather?
Wandering around with baskets full of nettles, bark, stones, clay. Walking in company, with scissors, plastic bags full of rotten mushrooms and then freezing, boiling, drying, dyeing, separating, observing, learning, forgetting, getting excited and disappointed.
Meeting point: Narva Art Residency, Joala 18.
Languages: English, Estonian, Russian.
In case of questions, call +37255624384.
Participation is for donation (about 1€) and open to all!
