River Connectivity Through Printmaking

Botanical Monoprints by Morgan LaChance

Join Remy Crettol, Vermont River Conservancy’s Northern Vermont Conservation Manager, to explore the four dimensions of river connectivity—longitudinal, lateral, vertical, and temporal—and discover why different sections of the same river can look and function so differently. Then, with guidance from Gabriella Marchesani, VRC’s AmeriCorps/Community Engagement Coordinator, create a sketch inspired by an often-overlooked part of the river, from shifting currents and meandering channels to the hidden world beneath the water’s surface. After a short walk into downtown Johnson, Gabriella will lead a hands-on printmaking workshop where you’ll carve your own linoleum block and create prints on paper or fabric. Feel free to bring a T-shirt, tote bag, or other fabric item to personalize with your design. 

What to Bring

• Water bottle
• Comfortable walking shoes
• A T-shirt, tote bag, or other fabric item for printing (optional)
