Experiences and Workshops

Four participants proudly holding their handmade botanical prints during a nature-inspired art workshop at Rachel Reeve's studio in Wolfville, Nova Scotia.

For over twenty years, I have shared my interest in art and creative expression through teaching, workshops, and collaborative experiences.

Drawing from my artistic practice and relationship with the natural world, I occasionally offer small-group workshops at my studio in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, as well as workshops hosted by galleries and arts organizations.

Through botanical printing, gyotaku, and other hands-on processes, participants are invited to explore natural forms and materials, allowing time for curiosity, experimentation, and individual discovery.

Workshop offerings vary throughout the year. For inquiries or information about upcoming opportunities, please get in touch.

Time to Slow Down

In a world of constant demands, digital distractions, and uncertainty, time spent with nature and making things by hand offers a welcome change of pace. Slowing down, noticing the details, and sharing the experience of creating with others can bring us back to the simple pleasures of curiosity, connection, and discovery.

“Rachel’s workshop was really unique and fun! She had a variety of fish, which was great to try a bunch of them. Rachel was organized and ready for all of the questions I threw at her. Her demonstrations were excellent and showed her high skill level of printing with fish! Loved this workshop! Highly recommend this as an experience!”
