About Plate and Palette: A Fusion of Art and Cuisine
Join us for a unique art and culinary workshop presented by Powisset Farm and deCordova Museum and Sculpture Park.
At this inspiring, one-of-a-kind sensory experience, sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste will converge in the worlds of nature, food, and painting.
We’ll start by taking in the views of 109-acre historic Powisset Farm to recognize the bounty the farm produces each season. Next, we’ll move to the teaching kitchen, where Powisset’s Chef Thi will lead a cooking class using farm-fresh vegetables to create a menu filled with vibrancy, color and dimension. At the end of the class, you will enjoy the food you created at a communal table, drawing inspiration from the scents, feel and tastes you’ll experience.
Next, we will take our inspiration and recollections outside, where deCordova’s popular painting instructor, Cha, will be waiting with easels, canvases, and paints. With the farm as your studio, Cha will guide you in a painting class inspired by the culinary experience you just enjoyed. You’ll be encouraged to use the food’s colors, tastes, textures, and smells to spark your imagination as you paint. Perhaps the food sparked a memory, created a mood, combined colors or offered a new shape to study. Whatever your inspiration, Cha will be present to offer guidance, suggestions and as much or as little instruction as you desire.
At the end of the workshop you’ll share a glass of wine or craft beer and discuss the art each person created.
Open to all skill levels from novices to experts, this unique fusion of farm-fresh cuisine and artistic imagination – all within an idyllic pastoral setting – is a workshop not to be missed!
