Making with Mushrooms: Spore Prints & Grow Your Own Mushroom Materials

1 Park Row,Providence RI 02903

24 September, 2022

Description

In this workshop, landscape architect and artist, Courtney Goode, will lead two interactive workshops where participants will be able to make spore prints and grow their own objects or materials using living, mushroom-based media. The group will meet at Goode Landscape Studio in downtown Providence. After a brief introductory talk, everyone will split into two groups (one for each hour) to do mushroom casting for an hour and spore prints for an hour. All materials will be provided, however, you are invited to bring your own negative casting mold (no larger than 12"x12"x6"). You may also optionally bring your own fresh mushroom(s) to use for spore printing (please no stinkhorns, and no puffballs). Make sure they've been picked in the last 24 hours and handled with care.
