Marissa Stoffer: Foraging for Colour Walk

Saturday 7 June 
11:30am-1pm

Learn the ancient art of foraging, uncover the natural colours plants create, and connect with the rich botanical heritage of the landscape in a journey that awakens curiosity, creativity, and wonder.

Please note: We will continue in all weather. No requirements except to come prepared for the weather on the day and to wear comfortable footwear

Marissa Stoffer (b. Netherlands) is a cross-disciplinary artist and educator whose practice explores ecology, plants, and humanity’s evolving relationships with the natural world. Rooted in slow craft and foraging, she creates natural dyes and pigments from plants collected on walks, combining scientific inquiry with botanical colour making. Her work spans textiles, painting, sculpture, installation, sound, and performance, often drawing on esoteric philosophy, myth, and animism to explore trees as central figures of identity and connection.

Through her immersive process and deep engagement with place, Marissa uncovers the stories, metaphors, and cosmologies embedded in plant life. Her materials, methods, and themes are shaped by the seasons, local ecology, stories, science, and sustainability to inspire a sense of kinship, wonder, and awe for the more-than-human world.

Tickets: FREE, but places are limited so booking is essential here on Eventbrite.
