Join Artist Lisa Madson and the Ringwood Manor Association of the Arts on Sunday, June 12 at 11am for a FREE large-scale nature printing workshop.

Expressing our affinity for the beauty of the natural world we will use leaves, natural elements, ferns, and foliage found on the grounds and a variety of printmaking techniques to create large multicolored fabric banners to be displayed at the Manor as a long term installation for you to bring your friends and family to see throughout the summer!

We will be using brayers, sponges, acrylic inks, and paints and we will experiment with cyanotype, an alternative photography process. Bring your smock, it’s bound to get messy!

The workshop is geared to all ages, artists can work individually or in small or family groups. The workshop is FREE, however, preregistration is encouraged to ensure that we have adequate supplies on hand.

Come out for the day and enjoy the workshop in the garden by the Coffee Shop and later take time to tour the Manor, explore the grounds, and deepen your understanding of the historical significance that Ringwood Manor plays in New Jersey’s history.
