Saturday July 19 / 2pm-5pm
Under Workshop Tent @Ravenwood Barn
Limited to 10 Participants
Adults, 15+

In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the flag as a visual language—one that has long been used to communicate identity, belief, and belonging.

Through guided exercises in color, composition, pattern, and symbolism, each participant will design and construct a personal flag that reflects their individual perspective. Using a range of materials—from canvas and paper to paint, fabric, and thread—we’ll explore how abstract and representational forms can speak to who we are, what we value, and how we move through the world.

The workshop will culminate in the assembly of a collective flag installation, inviting reflection on the relationship between the individual and the group, and what it means to build something together through shared creative practice.

This workshop is also a great opportunity for parents to attend with their tween or teen children, offering a creative and approachable way to open up conversations about identity and self-expression through making. (If attended by an adult who has individually signed up, feel free to sign up children 12 and up for a special collaboration)

All skill levels welcome. All materials provided. No prior experience necessary.

TOPICS: Identity, symbolism, composition, pattern, color, form, and shape

MATERIALS: heavy-duty canvas (sewn trim and hanging grommets), acrylic paint, color fabrics, color paper, glue stick, adhesive tape, card, scissors, thread and pins (all materials included)

DO GOOD SOCIETY is a platform for awakening how we see—and shaping how we show up in the world. Through immersive workshops, we explore and question the world around us, recognizing that everything we interact with was once imagined, designed, and made. When we understand that, we begin to see our own power to create, contribute, and do good.

In this workshop, participants are introduced to key figures and references in Design, Art, and Architecture, engaging with their work through hands-on exercises that help us grasp their ideas in practice. These three disciplines are approached holistically and without boundaries, allowing them to inform and enrich one another naturally and intuitively.

In our workshops, we’ve explored the concept of identity through construction, design, color, materials, and drawing—with all their endless possibilities. The combination of thoughtful exploration and the simple joy of making has led to brilliant exercises, fresh ideas, and unforgettable conversations.

Our goal is to create a space where people can learn to see—by doing—while cultivating a slower, more intentional future. One that understands, values, and ultimately improves the world we share.

Willa Jaymes is a visual arts graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy and a scholar at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Class of 2029. She is from Accord and Rhinebeck in the Hudson Valley. Her work has been published in The Interlochen Review and recognized by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Jaymes's work lives where the tangible meets the intangible. She works with natural materials—wood, fiber, paper, and ceramics—each carrying its own texture and imperfection, reflecting the delicate balance between the physical world and the emotions we often struggle to articulate. In each installation, she explores how these raw elements can be woven together to evoke the clarity of a well-lit moment, alongside the shadow that hints at something ineffable. Influenced by Taoist philosophy, which suggests that some truths exist beyond words, she embraces the tension of trying to define deeply personal experiences. Her practice is an ongoing effort to capture the fleeting intersections of memory, emotion, and material—a quiet reminder that not everything can, or should, be fully defined.
