Experiment with watercolors to paint clouds in this painting technique workshop. Join us at the Gilley with instructor Erika Elizabeth, who will guide students step by step to express their own creativity.

In this beginner-friendly two-hour class, you’ll learn the basic techniques of decorative woodburning and will create an image of a feather to take home. Using a pen-like burning tool, you'll start by practicing mark-making techniques to explore options and possibilities with the wood burner.  Then you will create an image of a feather by copying a design from nature or making up your own design. All materials provided. Students must be at least 8 years old.

Join award-winning children's author and illustrator Will Hillenbrand for this special workshop for all ages.  Hillenbrand will show attendees how beginning drawers can capture their imagination with basic shapes. 

This is one of four events with Hillenbrand that is part of the occasional series Reading with Wings in cooperation with our friends at the Southwest Harbor Public Library.

Join noted ornithologist, field biologist and trip leader Seth Benz on this private small-group tour to Petit Manan Island aboard the 40-foot Tricia Clark out of Steuben, Maine; watch for Atlantic puffins, terns, razorbills, eagles, eiders, black guillemots and more with expert insights from Seth. The smaller boat size provides a more intimate experience than on larger tour boats, and allows the Tricia Clark to get closer to Petit Manan. Boat leaves promptly at 10am from the dock in Steuben; arrival required no later than 9:30am.
