Ice Dye Day

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2020
HAWTHORNE ARTS COMPLEX
12:OOPM–3:00PM

We are hosting a special Ice Dye Workshop to celebrate the launch of our upcoming Crave Goods collection. We will be teaching our favorite craft, ice dyeing, and making unique garments.

Ice Dyeing is a magical process combining tie dye techniques with ice in making one-of-a-kind patterns. As the ice melts, beautiful forms are revealed. We will begin the day experimenting with folding/binding methods and playing with the magical color alchemy of the dyes. You have the choice of dyeing a women’s lightweight cotton kaftan/cover up or a large cotton canvas beach tote. You can also bring an extra personal item to ice dye. Please purchase ticket for the item you prefer to dye.

To ensure a boutique experience, the size of this workshop is limited to 10 participants. No experience necessary.

Cyanotype Printing

SUNDAY, March 29th
FLOWER SCHOOL DOWNTOWN LA
1:00pm-3:30pm

Learn how to “Paint with the Sun!” In this workshop we will use sunshine to make images on paper. We will guide you through the process of making cyanotype photograms, one of the oldest forms of photography that doesn’t use a camera. Participants will learn how to prepare paper with light sensitive chemicals, compose images using a variety of objects and materials including fresh botanicals, and develop the prints in the summer sunshine! Each student will receive 3 pieces of 8×10 paper which may be cut into as may pieces as desired.  These prints will not only be inspired by nature, they will also incorporate the forms and shapes that make these objects so beautiful. Once you know this process, it allows for infinite possibilities!

We get so caught up in our busy lives that we sometimes forget the healing power of nature and the present moment. Events in the House of Two Spirits tipi provide attendees with a chance to escape daily stress and pause for self-reflection in a uniquely beautiful and welcoming setting. We hope you get inspired, feel renewed, make lasting memories and friendships. You are invited to join us at the House of two Spirits and take a healthy step away from your day-to-day life to enjoy nature’s nurturing.

We will connect art, nature and goats for an unforgettable day of inspiration and laughter

Nature Walk with Goats
We will have a beautiful day that will begin with the laughter that the most adorable goats ever will bring us as we walk in nature with them. Mindfulness is at the core of renewal, and the setting inspires slowing down and enjoying the views. We will also forage for local flora on this walk.
