SUMMARY:Birding Under the Influence: Cycling Across America in Search of Birds and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a riveting evening with Dorian Anderson to learn about his exciting yearlong adventure as he took a two-wheeled eco-friendly twist on the Big Year project\, where a birdwatcher tries to observe as many species as possible during a calendar year. He ultimately survived subzero temperatures\, drifting snow\, gusting winds\, lightning storms\, mountainous ascents\, dog attacks\, crumbling roads\, and several accidents. By the end of his travels\, he had spotted 618 bird species across 18\,000 miles of biking! \nAnderson will speak about the genesis of his bike-birding project\, provide a thrilling recount of his travels\, highlight the birds he saw\, and reveal how his adventure changed his life. His personality and enthusiasm are infectious\, and his tales of birding\, cycling\, and self-discovery will inspire others to venture into the outdoors\, take note of the birds around them\, and make positive changes in their own lives.

The space is also available to you if you’d like to show up with some headphones and just have a place to sit and get creative. All crafty mediums are accepted but please reach out ahead of time for anything that makes a substantial mess\, or requires special accommodations (ex. traditional clay will need access to water\, wood burning causes a lot of smoke etc.) Some of the supplies we have available all the time include: \n– paper\, scissors\, tape\, glues \n– prismacolor pencils \n– watercolor paints \n– markers \n– computer paper \n– various colors of sculpey (and the toaster oven to bake your tiny creations) \n– fabrics \n– magazines for collaging \n– 18″ standing embroidery hoop \n– sewing machine* \n– cover stitch machine* \n– white threaded serger* \n– table loom* \n– ball winder* \n– skein umbrella* \n– 2`1″ wide printing press* \n– 9×17″ paper/book press* \n*Any specialized tools should be checked out in advance.

If you plan to come and will be late please email Cassie@CassieJones.com ahead of time so that we can accommodate. \nIn an attempt to limit no shows we have added a mandatory $5 donation for all tickets\, and limited to 2 per reservation. If you attend open studio you can request a refund and we will send the $5 back to you as a credit towards any of our future events\, or know that your donation goes directly to supporting the Coven in keeping a physical space at Cherry Street Pier. \nThis event is for mostly self guided adults/artists to use our space.
