Moss Art Workshop

Let's get mossy! Join us for a hands-on mindful art practice with local artist Kayla Spagnoli. Let's get mossy and dig into the magical world of Moss Art! In this workshop, you'll work with different types of moss beautifully dyed in a variety of colours to create your very own moss art. This tactile workshop is open to any and all skills sets and recommended for ages 12+. Moss Art is a type of mindful art practice that works with real preserved dead moss. If kept out of direct sunlight and hung somewhere with some humidity, an art piece can last years. Because the moss is dead, it does not require watering or soil. The workshop will be seated. Wear short sleeves or sleeves that can be rolled up. You can bring your own gem stones, rocks, sticks, etc if you like, as long as they are no longer than 2 inches inch wide. Cre:8 is a fully accessible workshop venue. Please note, as a pop-up venue we have no access to running water. Drinking water is available on site. Washrooms are located across the street, generously provided by Tim Hortons. PRICE: $90 About your facilitator: Kayla was born and raised in Ottawa, and was a funeral director in a past life.
