Creative Climate Morning🌱✨🎨
To celebrate the close of Minneapolis’ first Climate Week, join us for a cozy morning of creativity and reflection. This gathering is an invitation to slow down and explore climate topics through art—whether that’s knowledge you picked up during the week, movements you’re feeling inspired by, or the gifts of nature you’re feeling grateful for 🌿 Stop by anytime during the morning and stay as long as you'd like!
A collaboration between Gifting Grove and Boring House, this creative morning will offer two hands-on activities:
📖 Zine Making (with food-waste pigments!)
Experiment with food waste watercolors to paint, draw, and write to create your own mini zine. Reflect on climate, community, and care for the Earth 🌎💚
🖨️ Block Printing
Create nature- and climate-inspired prints using pre-made carved blocks and traditional inks. Make a poster or a one-of-a-kind print to take home and celebrate our natural world 🍃✨
We’ll be gathering in Boring House’s Studio in the California Building. Feel free to stop by Mojo Coffee before or after for a sweet treat or something warm to sip as we create and connect ☕️🧁
After Creative Climate Morning, we’ll also be hosting a Stamp Making & Frame Upcycling Workshop🖼️ Learn how to carve your own block-print stamp and upcycle a frame for your finished artwork!
