Incorporating Succulents into Art Workshop with Tish Matulich
|
Workshop Tickets |
Tish will lead a walk around teaching tour showing the techniques she uses with living plants to support John's ZoeticTapestry artwork. After the walk around, participants will have an opportunity to plant a metal container which they will be able to take home and enjoy.
Tish Matulich has been growing, planting and designing with succulents for the past 15 years. After a career as a Director/teacher in early childhood, she has been able to dedicate more time to her passion of creating succulent plantings. Over the last year, Tish has been working closely with artist, John Sutti on his new art program called Zoetic Tapestry. She helps coordinate the design, lay out and planting techniques needed to support the collaboration of this project.

This is the story of an artist, a team of collaborators, and the public, creating a vibrant partnership to give back to the community and to nature – supporting and enhancing life. The project began as a grass roots movement when an artist desired a purpose beyond creating art valued solely as an object of beauty. Wanting to contribute to a greater good, he started weaving together a team of like-minded professionals and thus began the creation of the Zoetic Tapestry Project – introducing art as a unifying thread within the community. The Zoetic Tapestry Project is an inclusive, participatory, mutually beneficial, and vital movement using art as the catalyst for change. Through a partnership of artists, designers, and individual community members, the project works to enhance neighborhoods, promote economic development, support family unity, and restore innovation, equity, and opportunity to all.
