Create in direct collaboration with the natural world. This workshop is a tactile, meditative introduction to the art of branch weaving. Using a forked tree branch as your natural loom, you’ll learn how to transform simple twigs and colorful fibers into a unique piece of organic art. Dexterity requirement: use of hands and gripping of needles, thread, and yarn.
About Sierra: The woods have always been a place of serenity for Sierra and are the direct inspiration for her current body of work. By incorporating elements of the natural world into her paintings, she encapsulates the tranquility of tall trees and invites viewers to take a moment to breathe among the trees.
Where the Trees Grow Slow: We’re excited to introduce the first event in our land justice series! March 17 – April 2 Shepherd’s Corner is hosting an exhibit by Sierra Hamilton, a Columbus-based visual artist whose work integrates vibrant, iridescent colors with the natural world.
