RIVERS + ART WORKSHOP

Stitching the River is a river science and art class developed and taught by myself and Emily Iskin. We both work professionally with rivers and love using art to communicate the things we find fascinating about watershed science with a larger audience.

During the workshop we taught about river ecology and processes, basic watercolor techniques, our professional work with rivers, and led an art activity focused on connections between the different elements of a river ecosystem. It was such a blast, we decided to plan another round–we’ll be offering this workshop again this fall in Moab, UT!

PS. Shoutout to Sagebrush Collaborative for hosting us (for free!). A known and accessible venue made a huge difference in enabling us to take the leap and organize this event. Stop by to support local artists and check out some adorable handmade goods next time you’re in Boise 🙂
