Blue Craft Farm

SATURDAY & SUNDAY

Blue Craft Farm is an art farm now in its second year of cultivation in Rappahannock County, owned and operated by Joneve Murphy.

There are 20 different plant varieties in production. Through chemistry and careful cultivation these plants can become paint, crayons, and other art supplies.

Joneve’s natural pigment journey began during quarantine with limited art supplies and plenty of time, starting with kitchen staples like turmeric and tea, then foraging for walnuts and elderberries, and eventually growing a dedicated palette of dye and pigment plants from seed.

Through years of experimentation she has developed a range of plant based colors currently available as watercolor paints and fresh and dried plant material.

Classes in paint and ink making as well as indigo dyeing are offered on the farm this summer through fall.
