Discovery Dinner: Holiday Nature Printing

Step into a welcoming, beginner-friendly creative experience where nature becomes both inspiration and canvas, with a festive twist. Guided by 1440 Experience Instructor Jennifer Barber, participants will use water-based inks and simple printmaking techniques to create layered botanical prints inspired by the textures, patterns, and beauty of the natural world. Explore seasonal colors and organic forms as you create one-of-a-kind prints that can be shared as thoughtful cards, gift tags, small art pieces, or keepsakes.

This hands-on class invites curiosity, creativity, and connection while offering a meaningful way to slow down and create something by hand. Guests will leave with a collection of finished prints, along with a reusable printing plate to continue creating long after the session ends.

As part of this Discovery Dinner experience at 1440, you’ll also enjoy a delicious, sustainable, and locally sourced dinner at Kitchen Table. Featuring global cuisine prepared by our 1440 Culinary Team, this deeply nourishing meal provides the perfect complement to your creative practice.

This unique event is a fulfilling opportunity to create, connect, and embrace hope for living well.

1440 is a philanthropic campus, and each booking contributes to serving our community by providing scholarships and volunteer services in support of creating hope for living well.
