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.

Paint by the sea in Acadia National Park with artist Erika Elizabeth at Seawall Picnic Area. Students will learn how to paint water, rocks, and trees to create their own watercolor landscape. Erika has a unique style of teaching that encourages watercolor students to play and experiment with their art. Students must be able to walk a short distance over rocks and carry their supplies and a chair/towel for sitting on. Materials are available with advance request – please ask for materials in the “Notes” field when you sign up. Meet at Seawall.

Join Maine master carver Joshua Brewer at the Wendell Gilley Museum for this one-day class to learn the art of making a precise pattern for any bird you would like to carve. Carvers use patterns to guide their knife-cuts when carving birds from wood. While there are many books of patterns available, this class allows you to customize the look for your carving. Space is limited and reservations are required. All tools and materials will be provided.
