Matt Kip of Full Belly Foraging has been doing it for over 30 years and knows just where to go and what to look for. This year\, celebrate Art Blossoms a little differently on a nature walk with Kip at the Columbia Riverwalk to explore what’s right here in our city’s natural landscape. Identify and harvest wild edible and medicinal plants\, go over species to avoid\, and learn about local habitats and what useful species can likely be found there. Kip brings a wild dish to sample before the excursion. This private walk lasts roughly 1.5 hours\, so wear comfortable and weather-appropriate clothes and shoes. Limited space available. Meeting location will be included in the confirmation email after registration. $35 / $28 for members. Matt Kip grew up exploring the woods near his house in the sandhill country of central South Carolina. After witnessing heavy machinery turn the woods near his home into housing developments and shopping centers\, Kip began searching for a way to live that didn’t require the destruction of nature. Fascinated by the old ways of generations who lived without the manufactured products and industrial food systems of our modern world\, he began reading every book he could find about wild edibles. For 15 years now\, Kip has been leading plant walks along the rivers in Columbia through his business\, Full Belly Foraging. In that time he has introduced thousands of people to a refreshing way of seeing and connecting with the natural world. Art Class: Paper Making with PlantsSaturday\, March 23 | 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.Create your own handmade paper using plant fibers from cotton\, abaca — a plant grown in the Philippines used to make artist paper — and other floral ephemera.

Ages 15 and up. $150 / $120 for members. Velvet Underwood developed a love for making handmade paper and book arts several years ago when she was a fiber arts student at Central Michigan University.

When she isn’t busy making art\, she volunteers her time as a docent at the CMA and is involved with community theater at the Chapin Theater Company. Punk Ikebana Demonstration and DialogueSaturday\, March 23 | 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.Join us on day three of Art Blossoms as acclaimed artist\, author\, and floral designer Louesa Roebuck celebrates the early spring flora of South Carolina. In her critically acclaimed books Punk Ikebana and Foraged Flora\, Roebuck explains classic rules of ikebana\, the Japanese art of flower arrangement\, and demonstrates how to bend those rules in her distinctive style. See how her work unites the cultural meanings and wise elegance of a traditional perspective with an exhilarating freedom from convention. Audience interaction is encouraged as Roebuck shares how she has created transcendent\, eco-luxe compositions with seasonal flora foraged and composed in situ from the San Francisco Botanical Gardens and elsewhere. Following the demonstration and dialogue\, enjoy a book signing and a chance to meet the artist.

Her work has been featured in a number of national and international magazines and media including Vogue\, Martha Stewart Living\, Los Angeles Times\, Remodelista\, Wired\, C Magazine\, Bare Journal\, and Sunset. Aligning her deep commitment to the environment with her love of foraging\, gleaning\, and sourcing locally\, Roebuck offers this very simple mantra: if you only forage\, glean\, or source local and micro-seasonal flora\, you’ll have a perfectly symbiotic and harmonious practice\, one that is intrinsically whole and abundant\, full of more yeses than nos. She lives in Ojai\, California. Art Class: Ikebana Essentials and AestheticsSunday\, March 24 | 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.Learn the essentials and aesthetics of ikebana\, the Japanese art of flower arranging.
