My spring residency at the CLC has been extremely powerful. We took field trips to see fossils and big trees, foraged mushrooms and planted mushroom gardens, made tinctures and teas, tried our hand at indigo dying and sewed dream pillows, cooked dinners and lived without phones or internet, made inks and art books and poetry, and spent a great deal of time outside. It was the perfect week living in art community and I learned so much from these folks. I will carry this with me forever.
