• Creative Class - Botanical Sunprints (Cyanotypes)

  In this class you’ll learn how to make cyanotypes, a kind of sunprint named for its striking blue color. It works by placing objects, such as plant materials, onto light-sensitive paper and exposing it to bright sunlight. After rinsing the paper in water, places where objects were blocking the light will be white on a background of blue. You’ll need to bring your own plant materials to the class. Leaves and pressed flowers work well— anything that will lay relatively flat under a piece of glass. You can also bring other objects to experiment with, such as feathers or lace. By the end of the class, you’ll leave with 6 cyanotype prints that can be framed as works of art or used in any paper craft. If you’re interested in taking the class, but find ticket price to be a barrier, there are a limited number of spots available for volunteer assistants. Please contact Missa by email at [email protected] or phone 812-219-6119 for more information. Missa has taught alternative photographic processes, including cyanotype, to a wide range of people, from casual art clubs to college classes. She is the shopkeeper at Tree of Liminality and cofounder of Farmhouse Art Collective. Because this process requires bright sunlight, please note there will be a “rain date” on Saturday, June 28th from 2:00-4:00pm. If the class does have to be postponed due to weather, you’ll be notified by the morning of June 21st. Thanks for your understanding. 2025-03-14 16:00:00 -0500

• Open Mic Poetry Night

  We’ll be hosting a Poet Tree Reading (Poetry Reading!) at the Heart House on Friday, June 27th from 7-9pm. Come share your writing in a safe and supportive environment, or come just to listen and enjoy the words of others. It’s a magical thing to see people find their voice and be there to cheer them on. RSVP to claim your spot as a reader. We ask that, in deciding what to read, you keep it PG-13 and avoid language that puts others down. Consider trigger warnings if you’re unsure, or run it by us. We want everyone to feel valued and welcome, because everyone is! This event is free and open to the public, with a suggested $5 donation to our sister nonprofit and co-host Farmhouse Art Collective. 2025-05-19 21:00:00 -0500
