Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Zentangle is a great warm-up for other art projects or an alternative way to meditate and bring focus to your day. Multi-generational classes are really fun since everyone brings their special touch to the group; this workshop would be appropriate for teens and up!

All supplies are provided; your registration fee includes a Zentangle kit. 

Debbie Shepard is an artist and studied Zentangle with the founders in Providence RI in 2015.   Her primary medium is color pencil, but she also works in water color, pen & ink (including sumi-e Japanese painting).

Zentangle is a great method to add creativity and expression as we age and has found uses in healing and mental health practices.

Pysanky (pronounced “PIH-sahn-keh”) is a fascinating traditional Ukrainian egg-decorating technique passed down through generations since pagan times. Simple to intricate designs are applied to an egg with melted beeswax using a special tool called a "kistka," then the egg is dipped into progressively darker-colored dyes. A multi-layered pattern results that is revealed when the wax is melted off at the end. This wax-resist style of decorated egg is one of Ukraine's national symbols.

In this workshop, you will learn to make these beautiful eggs yourself! You will be provided with examples, direct instruction and support as well as all the tools and materials needed to design and create your own pysanky.

This class will have a winter theme, including seasonal motifs of holidays and nature.

Nancy Rhoades is a retired teacher with a lifetime of experience in making things…from pottery to calligraphy and illumination, from sewing and weaving to writing pysanky, and more.

The craft of Pysanky is a joy to teach, and Nancy is delighted to have the opportunity from CCC to share this particularly beautiful folk art with you.

Several hundred years ago, in an age before satellites, radar or even complete maps, it was very challenging navigating the open seas where there were no landmarks. But clever humans from different parts of the world (including the Vikings, the Indians (people from India) and other seafaring people) boldly and successfully navigated the open oceans using the stars, basic calculus, and simple but ingenious tools. This lecture will examine and demonstrate the tools and methods of those curious and inventive seafarers.
