Create earth-friendly recycled paper filled with seeds ready for planting!
Earth Day is April 22nd, and we are focusing on earth-friendly creativity during this month. And what is more timely than making handmade paper (out of recycled scraps) along with wildflower seeds to create more beautiful habitat for birds, insects and us?
Join us at The Bridge to get your hands wet (literally!) as we take recycled paper pulp and seeds and turn them into something beautiful AND useful to our earth!
This event is FREE and all supplies are included. This event is hosted at a church but it is NOT a church event. There will be NO church talk; just a free community-building event that allows us all to take a break in our busy lives to do something that’s good for ourself and our community. We hope you will join us!

A selection of intuitive, mixed-media paintings by Oregon-based artist Claudia Dose, currently on view as part of a Clackamas County Arts Alliance exhibition in a local hospital setting.
These works are created through a process of listening and allowing form to emerge, rather than planning or control. The paintings explore themes of inner movement, openness, and the subtle threshold between tension and release.
Placed within a healthcare environment, the intention is simple: to offer moments of pause, reflection, and quiet connection for patients, visitors, and staff.
This exhibition is part of a broader Arts Alliance initiative bringing original artwork into community spaces.
