SUMMARY:FREE Walk-Up Paddling - 2nd St.
DESCRIPTION:Hop into a Gowanus Dredgers canoe and paddle at your own pace inside the protected Gowanus Canal. Enjoy discovering the canal’s unique mix of wildlife and urban waterway infrastructure\, practice your paddling skills\, or take a guided audio tour and learn more about the history\, cleanup and revitalization of our favorite urban waterway. \nWe’ll outfit you with a life jacket (which must be worn at all times) and paddle\, offer some basic instruction on how to paddle and safety tips on how to use a canoe\, and help you set off on your own self-guided journey. Trips may be limited to 20 minutes if there’s a crowd — but usually we just expect you to return to the dock 15 min. prior to closing. \nWho can participate? Paddling is for everyone! Free walk-up canoeing is open to all ages. Groups\, families\, solo paddlers\, and intrepid first dates are all welcome! Minors require a guardian’s signature to participate\, and all participants must sign a waiver. \nWhat should I wear? Dress for the weather: wear sunscreen\, hats\, and bring a water bottle — and bring layers if there’s a breeze! Close-toed shoes are recommended\, and wear clothing you don’t mind potentially being splashed. \nIs it really free?  Yes! But donations are encouraged to help us continue offering these and other programs. \nCan I volunteer? Yes! You can sign up to volunteer here. No prior experience is required\, but we love return volunteers! Note: Volunteer shifts run from 30-minutes before the start of the program through the first two hours\, or from the middle of the program to 30 minutes after the end of the scheduled time.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Brian Ellis and The Gowanus Dredgers
DESCRIPTION:Gather materials for cyanotype printmaking on a short canoe paddle in Gowanus Bay! \n🎟️ RSVP REQUIRED🎟️ RSVP here \nJoin Brian Ellis and the Gowanus Dredgers for a mid-day cyanotype printmaking workshop! After a short discussion of the printmaking process\, we will paddle to a nearby location to gather materials for our prints. Upon returning to the Bunker \, we will set up and harvest the power of the sun to create some wonderful prints that participants will be able to take home the same day. Beyond the standard cyanotype process\, we will also cover wet cyanotype\, image transfer\, and coffee-based bleaching and toning as time allows. \nCost: Suggested donation of $5-10\, however no one turned away for lack of funds. We want this to be accessible to everyone\, please contact us if you have a financial hardship. \nRSVP Required as seats are limited. \nAbout the Artist: Brian Ellis is a process-based cyanotype artist who uses the medium to explore human physicality and detritus. Using their practice to document meaning-making in the context of waste\, degradation\, and impermanence\, Brian’s cyanotype work utilizes wet cyanotype\, singing\, portraiture\, interview\, and print toning.
