Public Records presents Living Things: a four-part immersive summer series hosted in The Nursery in collaboration with Usal, an agency providing experience for nature enthusiasts. Each gathering explores human and planetary connection through multi-sensory activations, storytelling, and co-creation. The Nursery becomes a living organism, blending tactile experiences, movement, taste, reflective workshops, communal rituals, and ephemeral installations. Part 1, BRANCH is designed to guide us into a more rooted and present connection with the earth, ourselves and each other. We will co-create an improvised earth sculpture that will live on at The Nursery. Led by natural builder and artist Sage Stoneman, this hands-on, feet-in-the-mud workshop will introduce you to the ancient and regenerative building technique, wattle and daub (a sculpt-able blend of clay soil, water, and natural fiber stuck to a woven wooden form). What to expect: - Intro to natural building, history and contemporary relevance - Guided earth sculpting practice with Sage: think mud, straw and teamwork - Dynamic conversations about creating community-built natural structures and systems of support/resource-sharing beyond ownership - Playful connection, muddy dancing, a sense of childlike wonder and profound grounded-ness Event presented by Yerba Madre. Presented by Public Records. This is a 21+ event.
