Arts & Ancestry Circle
Advertisement
Take time to create in the company of others. Bring your personal handwork/art/craft projects to work on over this 1.5-hour casual get-together with other creatives and aspiring creatives. Work with your hands while enjoying conversation, tea, and a nibble, with time to reflect using creative prompts based on the arts-and-ancestry theme.
For our first session, local artist Berta Winiker will briefly introduce the range of her work and share an embroidery technique perfect for beginners—chicken scratch—which typically incorporates a few basic cross-stitches on gingham or checked fabric. You'll be able to try the technique with the materials provided, or get to work on your personal projects. The women of “The Big House” have been knitting, crocheting, stitching, mending, beading, drawing, painting, scrapbooking, journaling, writing in-community for 160 years. Let’s continue their traditions and the handwork heritage of our own pasts in one another's company.
Arts & Ancestry is FREE, including supplies for experimenting with new mediums and techniques. Location: our circle will meet in the museum, on the veranda, or in the carriage barn, depending on the space required to accommodate participants, the session’s materials/techniques, and the weather. RSVPs required for each gathering. DATES: July 2, July 16, August 6, August 20, September 10, September 24, October 8, October 22. Reserve your space for one or all!
