Grounded Knowledge
Co-organizer
This workshop series is inspired by the desire to link hands-on practice with literary and historical knowledge production. Grounded Knowledge Workshops bring together local artists, farmers, herbalists, and chefs with students and scholars to explore connections between the Renaissance Kitchen Garden and Apple Orchard and rare book collection. Upcoming workshops include a focus on: seed stories in global landscapes, women’s production of herbal remedies and medical knowledge, fermented fruits and cider making, and distillation: pigments, perfumes, and syrups.
