Comprising sixty to seventy percent of the human body, water stands as an elemental essence at the very core of our existence.

Join March gallery artist and explorer Keri Rosebraugh for a Friday evening lecture and on Saturday for a unique workshop exploring our precious resource called water: our connection with it, the mystical aspects of it, and how we can collaborate with it in our own artwork.

On Friday, March 29, 2024, from 5:00 to 6:30 pm, Rosebraugh will share her personal journey and fascination with water and its intrinsic connection to our lives. The conversation will touch upon the “Theory of the Sublime” as manifested in nature as well as how Rosebraugh integrates water into her artistic practice.

On Saturday, March 30, 2024, from 10: am to 5:00 pm, Rosebraugh will direct students as they begin the day with group activities involving water and will work together to create a large medicine water wheel outside to energize, celebrate, and honor water. Weather permitting, we will utilize the ocean tide and combine salt water and sand with our own interpretations of water on paper.

The afternoon will entail creating Cyanotype prints, which is a photographic printing process that produces blue prints using coated paper and light. We will then soak the prints in water to complete our images. Using objects from nature found near the Hoffman Center for the Arts, we will form various shapes and shadows in our prints. This workshop emphasizes experimentation, investigation, and the discovery of how water plays an important role in our lives.

Full and partial scholarships are available. For more information and registration visit: hoffmanarts.org/
