SUMMARY:Art Class: Botanical Monoprinting on the Gelli Plate
DESCRIPTION:Discover the intuitive and joyful art of botanical monoprinting in this hands-on workshop. Using a flexible gelli plate\, you will learn how to capture the delicate textures and intricate details of leaves\, ferns\, and grasses. This process allows you to create unique art prints without the need for a traditional printing press. Using a brayer to apply smooth\, even layers of acrylic paint to the gelli plate\, we’ll press our botanical items into the plate\, transferring textures and patterns onto the paper. Play with color theory\, translucency\, and layers. \nLeaves and materials will be provided\, but please feel free to bring your own botanical textures. Items will likely be destroyed in the process of printing\, and need to be able to lie flat between two pieces of paper. Other items\, like pine cones\, will create a very neat texture that looks nothing like a pinecone – but very fun all the same!

SUMMARY:Musical Act: Griefcat (including Romantasy hits)
DESCRIPTION:Known for their hit: Faeries F$%^ing\, Griefcat will be performing their hit songs. \nAbout Griefcat: \nRising musical comedy duo Griefcat emerged in 2019 as the brainchild of Annie\nNardolilli and Louisa Hall\, two songwriters from Washington\, DC whose shared wit and undeniable musical chemistry made their collaboration feel like fate. Now established as modern\, genre-hopping troubadours unafraid of sonic experimentation\, Griefcat builds on influences from Tenacious D to Dolly Parton and beyond\, infusing the result with a healthy dose of campiness and a talent for tongue-in-cheek sociopolitical commentary — a winning combination that has earned them the backing of a diverse and growing fanbase\, a standing ovation from Simon Cowell\, 100m+ social media views\, and critical acclaim from outlets including The Washington Post over a string of releases and electric live gigs to date.
