A Workshop Benefiting the Tennessee Immigrant & Refugee Rights Coalition (TIRRC)
The world feels impossible right now. The news is relentless, the injustice is everywhere, and it's hard to know what to do with all the rage and grief we're carrying.
This workshop is a chance to channel what we're feeling into something tangible and to support an organization that's actually on the ground making change.
We'll create pressed-flower protest signs in 8×10 frames. You'll choose a phrase that matters to you and use flowers to spell out the words. No experience necessary—just show up with whatever you're feeling.
We're offering tiered ticket pricing so more people can participate while maximizing support for TIRRC. For every ticket sold, we'll be making a donation to TIRRC.
- $50 ticket → $25 donated to TIRRC
- $75 ticket → $50 donated to TIRRC
- $125 ticket → $100 donated to TIRRC
The rest covers materials. You can also donate directly to TIRRC at https://www.tnimmigrant.org/.
What We'll Do
Pick a phrase. Arrange pressed flowers to spell out that phrase. Leave with a finished piece you can put in your window, take to a rally, or keep on your desk as a reminder that you're not alone in this.
All materials included: frame, pressed flowers, adhesive, tools, instruction.
The Nitty Gritty:
Friday, January 30th at 6:00 PM at Midtown Bramble & Bloom, 2294 Young Ave
Space is limited and tickets are non-refundable. If you can't attend, we'll gladly provide you with a kit with all the necessary supplies to make your own pressed frame at home.
