SUMMARY:Summer Creative Practice Series
DESCRIPTION:Join coven organizer Cassie Jones in an open studio session of discussion and crafty play. Different mediums each day\, & enjoy a free beer!\n\n\nCome by the coven studio at 10 North Third Street and join in on whatever craft I’ve got planned for the group. Throwback style to hosting events in my basement for years\, I get to choose the craft\, and you just show up! \nThis series will serve as a creative exploration project both for me\, and for anyone that chooses to come to multiple sessions. People often ask me how I’ve built up a collection of so many different skillsets in the craft and art world- this is how. I’ll be inviting you all into my studio to see how I work from one project to the next\, and how each of them are treated as a way to hone my artistic mind and keep the motivations flowing in a productive direction. \nEach session will begin with a circle discussion of what we’ve been processing in our art lately\, and where we’d like things to go next. We’ll trade feedback with anyone looking for insight on their work\, and each person will have an alotted time to speak -or not speak- After the discussion portion of our workshop I’ll introduce the skill for the day\, something different for each group. Some of the projects that are on the list for this summer are: \n-Puppet Building \n-Stop Animation \n-Gelli Printing \n-Cyanotypes \n-Accessory Design \nWe’ll make some things together and work open studio style. Feel free to bring your own projects and you have access to the tools on hand. Message if you’re looking for something specific like a sewing machine etc. \nBYO snacks\, beverages\, party favors etc. I’ll have beers available\, filtered water and a handful of tea varieties. \nAbout the Location: \nThe coven studio is located in the heart of Olde City in a below ground storefront. There are 10 steps down to get into the space\, and our ceilings are not very high. Anyone over 6’4″ will have watch their head until they have a seat. Any more questions about the space or accessibility-please reach out!

SUMMARY:Outdoors Online – Restoring Crum Creek
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn how we’re improving water quality and restoring ecosystems?  \nJoin Preserve Manager Mike Coll for an exciting webinar on the innovative deer enclosure fence at Hildacy Preserve and how it’s enhancing the water quality of Crum Creek\, a vital source of drinking water. Thanks to funding from AQUA\, this project focuses on revitalizing the floodplain to improve the health of our water resources.  \nDiscover how this initiative is creating a lush\, native planting area that slows and absorbs water runoff\, reducing harmful erosion and sedimentation. The exclosure fence also helps improve water quality by allowing native leaves to naturally filter the creek\, supporting macroinvertebrates that are essential for clean water.  \nBut that’s not all! Learn how this project is also sequestering carbon\, providing new habitats for floodplain species\, and supporting migrating wildlife. Plus\, it’s boosting native plant diversity\, which is crucial for pollinators and other vital insects.  \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn how ecological restoration is benefiting both the environment and our water supply.  \nRegister for free or become a member to show your support for Natural Lands.
