In Ancient Greek, the word for poetry, or poēsis, means “to make.” We will begin our practice here, in the effort of making.
With a backdrop of mountains, meadows, and mules, study alongside artist Mark Ritchie, whose practice is informed by the shifting relationship between animal and human communities.
Our explorations will span Printmaking, Bookbinding, and Creative Writing. Grounded in an ethos of curiosity and play, our practice will take place in the confluence of these forms.
Our backcountry workshop will include daily hands-on instruction, time for independent artistic exploration, and space to deepen your connection to the wild world through community and craft. Join a cohort of creative individuals as we deepen our relationship to self, eachother, horses, and to the land upon which we will unroll our sleeping bags at night.
In addition to daily artistic practice, we will connect with our own animal-bodies and enjoy the beautiful area surrounding our basecamp— we will have many opportunities to go on trail-rides, hikes, and take many a chilly-river-dip to enliven our senses. We’ll see just how many snacks and art supplies we can fit in our saddlebags, and will stop along the trail when we hear the call (or whinny) of the muse.
Open to all experience levels.
