Swan Meadow is Queer-focused studio creating, amplifying, and gathering around visual art in St. Louis.
Upcoming Workshops
Workshops are one of the best ways to support us, and we would be honored to have you! <3
Join us on November 29th from 6-8pm to learn about Risography and create your own 2-color prints! We'll go over tools, techniques, and then create together. Feel free to bring physical or digital tools to test out what your work can look like riso-fied, and we'll have drawing and collage materials here too. You'll be able to take home (and trade!) 10 two-color prints of what you create.
After taking this workshop, you'll be able to make appointments to print with us on whatever project you dream up next!
*If you want to learn Riso but cannot afford this workshop, please reach out to us at fern@liketheplant.com, we have a few scholarships available :)
Join us Saturday, November 14th from 1-3pm to make BUGS out of LEAVES! Ansleigh will bring foraged fallen leaves, paint, and glue to show you how to make incredible beetles, butterflies, moths, and other little critters. Workshop takes place at Swan Meadow, 2833 Chippewa St.
