Trysting Trees is a series of theoretical and creative workshops based on trees commonly found in the UK and Ireland. The project is an ongoing inquiry into plant connection, through the lens of artists, gardeners and foragers.
In this workshop we will be growing an attunement to birch through the following methods and mediums;
Identification, habitat, how to grow/propagate.
How can we learn about birch's integral role in the web of life. How do other species interact with birch, and it back?
Medicinal properties: tinctures, wine, flower essences, tea infusions, syrups. How is birch known to be helpful in aiding human health.
Making art materials using various parts of birch: plant dyes, inks, paints, papers, charcoal and mark making tools.
Developing a personal relationship with birch, exploring various methods to remember significant properties each tree has that we can use to help us in daily life. Finding a birch tree, or several trees which can be visited easily in the future.
Participants go away with many bits and pieces made either prior by us, or during the workshop so if you have spare jars it’s helpful to bring them along.
