Oak Grove theater concludes its summer season with "The Outsider": Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive Chief of Staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But political consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for the worst candidate to ever run for office…. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

Join us for live theater outdoors under the stars at beautiful Oak Grove Theater; performances begin at 8:45pm sharp, but attendees are welcome to come early and encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the grounds. Oak Grove Theater sells tickets for the season - one season ticket purchase allows you to see each show once; tickets for a single performance are not available.

In this two day hands-on workshop we will learn natural printing techniques using locally foraged or found fresh plant materials. The class will provide basic knowledge of botanical contact printing (also called eco-printing) on paper and textiles. The techniques used in class will be environmentally friendly, using a minimum of chemical components and no plastic.

You will learn how to achieve the best possible print outcome, including how to prepare the materials, how and when to use mordants, and how to select the most appropriate plants for the process. We will also explore more advanced contact printing techniques, such as using carrier blankets for mordants and colors. We will finish up the class by assembling a simple textile collage using some of the samples you have created in class.

The workshop fee includes the cost of all materials used to create initial print samples. Provided on the venue website is a list of appropriate papers, and fabrics to bring along for further explorations.

Basic tools such as heated pots, boards, rods, clamps, and string will be available for in-class use.

Taught by Charlottesville artist Lotta Helleberg
