Join artist Ruthanne Harrison for an evening of creating textile designs using block printing and stenciling. We’ll be experimenting with designing motifs for printing, using color combinations, and creating repeat patterns.
You will leave with a printed scarf, along with any other items you may choose to bring to print on (cotton t-shirts, fabric scraps, repurposed fabric cut from bed sheets, etc.). Printing materials will be supplied, and no prior experience is needed! This is a workshop for all, ages 15 and up.

Start your child’s summer vacation off with a fun class learning the basics of photography with professional photographer Leah Haraden. Your child will learn about the artistic side of photography using good composition techniques, available light, and much more. The program will include instruction and hands-on practice with a variety of challenging subjects and in-class assignments. Your child will learn to see the world through their own unique lens.
Digital cameras are recommended, but any type of camera will work—including cell phones. An exhibition of the students’ work will be held in the Merrymeeting Arts Center Gallery on Sept 5 and 6.
Students must provide their own camera. An additional $10 photo printing fee will be payable to the instructor at the end of class so each student will have at least one professionally-printed image to keep.

Kids can craft their own creature using recycled materials, colorful scraps, googly eyes, pipe cleaners and more! Your child can let their imagination run wild as they create a creature as silly, strange, cute, big, or small as they like! Local artist and former teacher Courtney Hutchings will facilitate and encourage the group through the building of their creations. Kids will bring home a wild creature they are proud of, and we will take care of the clean up!
