*Special* “Dare to Prepare to age” Workshop
In the essence of Henry David Thoreau we are embracing age and the changes it brings while taking time to explore ourselves so that we may consider new life options and go confidently in the direction of our (renewed) dreams!  Join us as we, Explore! (New options), Excavate! (Old dreams and talents), and Engage and Encourage one another!  Not another lecture…but rather a hands-on approach to living YOUR life to the FULLEST!  We hope you choose to spend Sunday, August 14th from 1:00—3:00 PM with Carmela Mulroe and Kim Beuerman. Sign up for this informational, inspirational and whimsical presentation by Thursday, August 11th.

Sun Bleached Silk Scarf Dying with Instructor Nancy Welch

 Instructor Nancy Welch gives a tutorial on how to get started with this fun & fashionable craft.  Students stretched the scarf onto a board to make a canvas, they painted their scarves, and then they placed organic and other materials on the scarf.  After allowing their scarf to soak up some sun, their scarves were ready to be heat-set and they enjoyed their completed project.
