Kids Classes

These amazing classes (30 minutes each) will be offered to the Faery Garden during the gathering:

​​

  • Into the Faery Realm: Meet the Plant Spirits, with Wendy Kaas
    Children will learn about how the plant spirits and the faeries are intimately connected. They will learn all about how to approach them in a good way, and be guided into an experience with a plant spirit.
     

  • Kids Nature Printing, with Brianna Rashbaum
    In this class we will give kiddos plants and herbs to press into wet slabs of clay. After the grasses, clover, flowers, and any other plants have been pressed into the clay we will remove them, use templates to create cups, bowls, and press plates. All kids clay will be glazed and fired for them and returned to the students by the end of the gathering.
