Summer Workshop Series: So, You Wanna Be/Are a Woodworker...?

Join us for So, You Wanna Be/Are a Woodworker...?, a holistic and educational experience within the world of woodworking. We will explore arboriculture, Oregon Native trees, sustainable practices, and have a small round table discussion with contemporary/traditional wood artists, an arborist, a mill company, and a forestry professional. Attendees will leave with new friends, a raw piece of wood to work with, a greater respect and knowledge for trees and vibrant forests, and tools for engaging in sustainable and responsible woodworking practices.

About the Artist Facilitator: Megita Denton

Indigenous Intermedia artist hailing from the Southwest, embedded into the Pacific Northwest. My practice is driven by collaboration, ecological solutions via detritus and a hunter-gatherer ethos. I flow through a plethora of mediums. My background as an agriculturalist is woven deeply into my artistic practice. I am reclaiming my artistic research to re-design the landscape in efforts to exemplify the interconnectedness of beings.Exploratory endeavors of environment and travel enable my work and relation to others, the natural and spiritual arenas- in pursuit of positive change and consciousness. I am building on the elevation of my cultural perspective to evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia that emits joy, contemplation, connection, and inspiration. Land is the mesa from which I push and pull my art from. Have a seat at the table with me and lets move art together.
