Into Nature

Nature is everywhere. Instead of working against nature, print maker Emilie Kvist aims to engage with nature––to learn from it, grow from it, and create from it. Through partnerships with the City of Abbotsford and the City of Mission, Emilie guides community-engaged, artistic hikes through Downes Bowl Trail in Abbotsford and at Centennial Park in Mission. In these outdoor printmaking workshops, Emilie teaches participants, from ages 6 and up, about hiking practices, plant identification, and processes of eco-printing. These ventures through local trails offer community members the chance to create take home eco-prints and the opportunity to contribute to panels for a collective eco-printing artwork inspired by Emilie’s ongoing research of alternative print processes and exploration of local plant material. Through incredible community support and the help of many local volunteers, Emilie’s artwork comes together as a temporary installation erected on the once lost labyrinth in Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford.

This event is free.
