DROP-INS FOR THIS EVENT ARE ACCEPTED!
Learn how to make wild inks and paint with plants! From acorns to sumac, wild grape to goldenrod, join us for a FREE painting with plants workshop. No art skills or green thumbs needed, just a curiosity about the natural world and the fascinating colours hiding in the trees, flowers, bark and berries of Quinte West. You'll learn how to forage for and make your own wild colours, and take home a plant painting of your own!
The City is excited to partner with Maker's Dozen, an independent content and digital technology studio based in rural Quinte West. Maker's Dozen blends art, technology, and nature to help clients bring creative ideas to life. Founders Kate and Neil's work encourages curiosity, creativity, and collaboration to build a more sustainable and connected future.

City of Quinte West
Located between Toronto and Kingston in southeastern Ontario, the City of Quinte West is a growing community, home to almost 50,000 residents. Created through the amalgamation of the City of Trenton, the Village of Frankford, Sidney Township and Murray Township in 1998, the City of Quinte West offers a unique mix of rural and urban lifestyles. Quinte West is notably home to Canada’s largest air force base, 8 Wing/CFB Trenton, and prides itself on being a sought-after tourism and recreation destination as a gateway to the world famous Trent-Severn Waterway. The natural features of Quinte West are complemented by its strong, vibrant and diverse economic base, making Quinte West an exciting place to live, work and play!
