It is time again for the spring sale and show at Picking at the Pea! We have been "reely" busy with our fishing and camping theme and can not wait to show off our big catch of the day! Come join the hundreds of folks for a fun filled day of picking and shopping with the best vendors around. We have tons of vintage and antique items to pick from, along with upcycled furniture to clothing, creative combinations of new and old things, talented crafters and artisans with unique one of a kind must haves! We have over 25 vendors that range from selling old books, jewelry, new and repurposed clothing and vintage apparel, scarves, crafted candles, outdoor furniture, and so much more! Chow down on homemade pastries, hand pressed coffee, world famous kettle corn and tacos. Browse the Pea Green Community Hall and the 101 year old Pea Green Store/Museum and have a laugh or a nostalgic moment remembering the past. Always expect the unexpected, one day only event, don't miss it!

Addressing problems with current conventional farming and ranching systems, Wrich holistically manages many acres with a combination of land leases and high country grazing permits. He will discuss how healthy practices not only improve environmental conditions, but help to build a healthy and happy community. See the ticketing link for the Arbol Farm address.
Nature Monoprinting: Printmaking without a pressIn this class we will explore some of the creative possibilities of hand printing images without a press. The process is called a monoprint because each image cannot be repeated exactly nor can it be editioned. This is not a precise art form and lends itself to experimentation and playfulness with various techniques and layers of color. All inks used are water based. We will use plant material as stencils and offsets to create unique and mysterious images that appear somewhat photographic. The transfer of ink to paper is accomplished with an inked matrix and a wooden spoon and/or a baren. Each class member will end the class with several handprints that they are proud of to frame or give as gifts.
Suggested Techniques:
Soft leaves or petals, live plant material as stencils.Positive and negative leaf form transfersStenciling with cut or torn paperSplotting or trailing with inkSoft brush and juicy washes of ink.
Participants will be provided with the materials they will need including archival paper, and inks as well as the plant materials and the necessary tools, such as barens, and brayers for inking.
$75, includes instructions and all materials.Walk-ins accepted if there are available spaces.
