Wool Landscape Workshop with Meredith Law

Join artist Meredith Law to explore the creative galaxy of WOOL.   We will gather around a communal table with piles of soft colorful wool, pre-made rustic wood frames, and her watercolors as templates.  No art experience required—Meredith will guide you through the process of painting with fibers and a needle.   We’ll supply everything you need so you can go home with a ‘ready to hang’ piece of fiber art!

Materials provided:

  • felted canvas
  • wool roving
  • salvaged wood frame
  • felting needles
  • felting pad
  • watercolor templates

Unless otherwise noted, online registration closes two days before the event date.

    I’m a naturalist, artist, and event designer who gets excited about the tiniest details. I grew up in North Carolina gardening and exploring the woods. The last 15 years in Marin County, I spent getting to know every trail on Mt. Tam and every event venue in wine country. With a BFA in sculpture and a degree in botany, my passion lies in collecting unusual pieces from nature and creating elegant things out of the unexpected. For my event design company, I act as art director, illustrator, and event brand ambassador making sure every detail tells a story. But what I really love is teaching folks to make beautiful things by exploring where nature meets art.

IRS Guidelines for Gifts from Donor Advised Funds to Support MAGC Events

Thank you for your interest in giving to the Marin Art & Garden Center events from your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) or Family Foundation.

We sincerely appreciate your generosity and support!

To ensure your gift follows the current IRS guidelines for DAF/Family Foundation support of an event, we would like to share the below guidelines with you.

  • Raffle tickets, tickets to galas and other special events, auction items, and benefits conferred in connection with a DAF/foundation grant are not permitted.
    • IRS has specifically ruled that fair market value associated with fundraising events cannot be separated, a practice known as “bifurcation.”
      • For example, with Edible Garden, if the price of the ticket is $200 and the FMV fair market value (non-tax-deductible amount) is designated to be $50, the donor must pay from sources other than her DAF/foundation for the full value of the ticket ($200) and not just for the non-tax-deductible amount ($50).
    • We recommend you confer with your financial advisor to confirm if any of these examples of how donors may still use their DAF to support an event would work for you:
      • A donor could sponsor the event, and not attend, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event using DAF/foundation funds and attend by purchasing an individual ticket through non-DAF/foundation funds.
      • A donor could sponsor the event, join the event as a guest of another donor/table guest, and pay fully out of the DAF/foundation.
      • A donor could sponsor the event and host the afforded number of people at their chosen level as long as they pay for the seats at the lowest ticket price ($200 for Edible Garden) outside of their DAF.
        • As an example, a $1,500 sponsor that covers 2 guests, could pay for their sponsorship with $400 from a different source of funds, and then give an additional gift of $1,100 out of their DAF.
