About this event

Welcome to the intersection of botany and illustration. In this workshop, we will build the foundations of botanical illustration through a detailed look into plant anatomy, evolution and form. Covering plant anatomy basics and creating a more complex species profile for our subject, this workshop is designed to train in the illustrator a botanist’s eye. Through an educated look at plant anatomy, students will gain the skills to translate their desired botanical subjects more accurately into illustrations and other art mediums. We will be using dry medium in this workshop.

Please be sure to bring the following supplies with you:

- Drawing pad (at least 8.5 X 11)

- Hard Surface (clip board, small easel etc)

- Pencils / Charcoal

- Colored PencilsDrawing pad (at least 8.5 X 11)

- Coloured Pencils

- Eraser

- Pencil sharpener

If you have questions about supplies or technology, concerns about accessibility or dreams for this workshop, please be in touch with the facilitator at peripeteiahtattoos@gmail.com

Instructor Bio: Carmin LoRe Faire is a white non-binary settler living on Lkwungen lands. As a botanical artist, Carmin works in the tattoo industry to translate accurate plant representations into lasting tattoos for their clients. With a special interest in botany and herbalism, Carmin has dedicated the last 8 years of their life to plant and herbal studies and is currently completing the Diploma of Phytotherapy program at Pacific Rim College. Looking forward, Carmin is dreaming of bringing their research to their ancestral lands of Sicilia to study the botanical traditions of herbs and poisons of the Mediterranean

Only current members in good standing are eligible to use the free ticket option as a part of their member benefits package.

There are a limited number of Pay What You Can tickets available for folks who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), and people who are facing significant financial barriers to their involvement in our programming. The Compost Education Centre is in the process of examining the ways in which our program accessibility can be improved for all members of our community. This ticket gesture is by no means a fulsome examination of the systems of oppression that exist for people inside and outside of our community. We welcome your ideas and feedback.

Please pre-register for this event.

Customers can request a refund within 30 days of ticket purchase. After 30 days refunds and workshop exchanges are not permitted due to administrative staffing capacity. Please be in touch if you are no longer able to attend but hold a ticket so we can make your space available to someone else.

You can also register for the event by calling our office at 250 386 9676 or via email by contacting office@compost.bc.ca

________________________

Accessibility info: The Compost Education Centre site has paths made of gravel (20%), and wood chips (80%). Mobility devices with wheels (such as wheelchairs, walkers etc.) are sometimes difficult to use on site, especially on the gravel paths.

There is a single-stall gender neutral washroom on site. The washroom is not wheelchair accessible and has a small step up from the gravel pathway, and another small step up from the washroom boardwalk.

________________________

The Compost Education Centre is located on unceded and occupied Indigenous territories, specifically the land of the Lekwungen speaking people—the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations. These nations are two of many, made up of individuals who have lived within the porous boundaries of what is considered Coast Salish, Nuu-Chah-Nulth and Kwakwa'wakw Territory (Vancouver Island) since time immemorial. At the CEC we seek to respect, honour and continually grow our own understandings of Indigenous rights and history, and to fulfill our responsibilities as settlers, who live and work directly with the land and its complex, vital ecologies and our diverse, evolving communities.

Compost Education Centre memberships get you free workshops, discounts at garden centres around town and more great perks! Sign up or learn more on our website.
