Drop in artist talk and art class with Libby Mitchell

As part of her upcoming exhibition “The Alchemy of Spring: Plants Painted with Plants”, she will be at Patriothall Gallery to discuss working with homemade art materials made from locally sourced organic materials, including garden plants, ethically foraged wild plants, and food waste.

The goal of her studio and art practice is to have as little impact on the environment as possible, which includes eliminating toxins and chemical run-off when cleaning brushes. The labels on store-bought paints produced en masse never provide us with information about how something was made, the origin of raw materials, who produced it and under which conditions, what it contains, and what impact it had on our environment during the manufacturing process! From the artist: 'I constantly found myself questioning the ethics behind my materials, which is why I started making my own and really hung onto the connection I was making to my surroundings in the process.'
