Kick off the Holidays with Artist Claire Lima in a celebratory workshop where you’ll assemble and take home your very own Holiday Wreath. First you’ll enjoy Tea and Cookies while Claire demonstrates wreath making techniques and materials. Then, through the use of primarily foraged materials such as pine cones, twigs, holly and fi r boughs, you’ll create a whimsical wreath for your front door. Whether you are celebrating a specific holiday or embracing the change of the seasons, this is a fantastic opportunity to get creative and embrace the creativity within our environment!

  • Students will be given a list of natural materials to collect in nature 2 weeks before the workshop. If they prefer not to forage, they could also just choose to purchase an assortment of evergreen boughs at a garden center. The instructor will provide wire, wire cutters and have supplemental foraged materials on hand.
Lima, Claire

(she/her/hers) Claire Millett Lima is a mixed media sculpture artist who was raised in the coastal town of Newport, Oregon. In her sculptures today, she utilizes what is immediately around her and often overlooked, the gathering of and relationship to the territory and each collected element as important as the vision and assemblage. The experience of combining these elements is multi sensory, an earthy scent is released as dried leaves are crushed, twigs are snapped, materials are mixed by hand. The sculpture that emerges is a beautifully distorted map of her contact with the terrain and an examination of the human dimensions of place attachment.
