with Deena Ball, Merrymeeting Community & Adult Education

Calendar Jun 14, 2025 at 9 am, runs for 1 week

Learn to create your own special record of your travels through art. Drawing and painting during trips creates more vivid memories than photographs alone. Students will meet on location to learn how to create a watercolor sketchbook memory. All materials will be provided: watercolor paints, pencils, pens, erasers, watercolor pencils, and brushes. You'll receive a hardcover Watercolor Journal with professional-grade paper (30 sheets) to take home. This one-day workshop features two sessions with a lunch break in between. Morning session: 9am–12noon. Afternoon session: 2:30–5pm. Participants will have time to explore Brunswick and enjoy lunch during the break. Total workshop time: 5½ hours. We'll meet at two different locations—ideally combining a natural setting with a town center. Possible locations include the Maine Maritime Museum, Head of the Tide Park, downtown Brunswick, Candance River Preserve, or Thompson Point Beach and Campground. A materials fee of $45 must be paid to the instructor on the day of the workshop. *Rain Date: 6/15.

Join us for a four-hour visit to the world of handweaving. The class offers the opportunity to weave on a loom that has already been dressed (ready for weaving) for each student. This introduction allows the focus to be on what it feels like and what is seen when you take a shuttle in hand and weave. It is a great class to just try out weaving or for determining whether you want to further explore handweaving. Use of a 4-shaft table loom and weaving tools, plus fibers, are included in the cost. Bring a snack or lunch!
