Special announcement! We've just had two spots open up in our #feltingworkshop scheduled this coming Saturday from 12-3pm during #SouthCoastSpringArts at #theMAC! Head to the link in our bio to register!
.
Spring Arts | Felting Workshop
.
Saturday, May 8 | 12:00-3:00pm
On the MAC Lawn
$35 per person | includes materials
.
Capacity: 10 people
.
Learn how to create art with wool! Fiber artist Kristina Goransson will show you how wool’s unique qualities allow us to make three-dimensional forms using wool fiber, water, and soap. Wet the wool with soapy water, and the magic happens when you agitate the fibers using your hands and tools. Bring your creativity to this workshop and fashion your own beautiful hollow form. It’s a bit of a workout and a little wet, but the end results are stunning—colorful wool sculptures of your own creation.

Note: Participants should bring a couple of old towels and a plastic bag for carrying home wet materials.

#SouthCoastSpringArts is almost here! Don't miss "LZ Bravo: A Vietnam Tour of Duty", an original, one-act drama conceived by John Heavey, local actor and drama director at Tabor Academy on Thursday, May 13, 6:00-7:30pm. This outdoor staged reading will be presented at the Robert O. Broomhead Bandstand at Island Wharf, Marion, MA. Tickets are just $5 per person.
The play is based in part on Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam, as well as other oral histories and writings from men and women who served in Vietnam. You’ll hear the poignant voices of over three dozen characters, servicemen, and nurses who endured their year-long tour of duty in “the Nam,” as well as families back home in the US. Heavey will lead a discussion following the show.
