GROWN UPS PLAYDATE: TALES FROM THE TRASH @Waterfall Arts April 19 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm $30.00   An Earth Day weekend special—we’re turning “trash” into treasure again. Revamp. Reincarnation. Editing. Desecration. Call it what you will. We are taking a piece of art someone thought better of and making it . . . EVEN better. Scour the thrift shop bins, your closet, the basement, and the curb for a painting, sculpture, sketch, or print that is calling out to you for a makeover. (We will have a few on hand, too.) Then push up your sleeves, take a deep breath, ask forgiveness, and give it that extra sumthin’ sumthin’ it’s been waiting for! No special skills necessary: we’ve got stencils, paint pens, collage materials, needles, embroidery thread, and plenty of good ideas. A subversive, affordable way to recycle and gain a new piece of art! About Grown-ups Play Dates: These events are perfect for the art-phobic and dabblers who are jealous of all the fun kids have in our Community Arts Studio! These BYOB creative events are laid back, no-pressure experiences in a judgment-free zone. Get a sitter, roll up your sleeves, and have some arty fun with friends (with a beverage of your choice).

About the Studio Monitor: Chandra Elmendorf has a degree in fine art and has had adventures in many art mediums. She says, “One of my deepest and oldest loves is clay. I was introduced to hand building and wheel throwing at the age of 7, then moved away from it at age 11. I’ve been finding my way back to it ever since. I worked in sculpture briefly during my college years, finally making my way back home to clay work for good in 2015. I don’t see any end to exploring the many possibilities of this special mud, and can’t wait to see where it takes me next.”

HAND BOUND BOOKS WITH JOELLE WEBBER: LINK STITCH @ Waterfall Arts April 20 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm $35.00 – $45.00   Expand your book binding skills and learn two new hand bound book techniques! French Sewn and Link Stitched. Continuing our exploration of the book form, this class reinforces our vocabulary of book anatomy, the tools needed for hand book binding, and material considerations for making beginner book structures. The Link Stitched book is sewn into a folded paper cover with a concertina spine. Historically these hand stitched patterns would have been hidden by covers, but we will make them a decorative element of our books. All tools and materials needed for the class will be provided. About the instructor: Joelle Webber, our guest instructor for this class, has spent 40 years collecting book arts techniques in college & workshop settings. She now designs classes for many different communities of makers based on her experience in writing, paper decorating, collage, calligraphy, pop-up, paper sculpting, book binding and box making.   Waterfall Arts 256 High Street Belfast, ME 04915

This retreat is for who shows up. That is you. You are welcome here. Gabriel is skilled at meeting the needs of those present in the room while being grounded himself. We will progressively move through a series of meditations to support feeling grounded, seeing things as they are, and opening the heart. There will be space to share about your experience and ask questions after each meditation as you are moved to. If you are new to meditation you will learn about and try several practices that you can take with you to continue on your own if you choose. If you are an experienced practitioner, you may learn and deepen in new ways. Your wisdom is welcome here. You may find it refreshing to try different meditations. You don’t have to believe anything to participate fully. The meditations will be informed by Gabriel’s training in the Vipassana (Insight), Radical Dharma (Tibetan), secular mindfulness, and the Hakomi Method (somatic psychotherapy). This retreat is offered without a fee to attend. Gratitude and generosity are wholesome qualities that arise if conditions are supportive. In that vein, if at the end you feel moved to make a donation to support Gabriel and cover the cost of the space, that will be welcome and appreciated. You can read more at: gabrielbaldwin.com

FUSED GLASS: YELLOW FLOWERS SUN CATCHER @ Waterfall Arts April 25 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm $30.00 – $40.00   Have fun learning how to work with different types of glass in this 2 and ½ hour workshop! Each student will learn to cut and shape sheet glass and use gentle heat to shape glass stringer. This class will have a special focus on cutting very thin strips of glass.  Your unique flower sun catcher will be fired to a tack fuse, creating a textured work of art to hang in your window. Your beautiful creation will be available for pick-up the week following the class. Ages 10 and up. About the instructor: Sharon Warren is a glass artist with an engineering background. She has had the opportunity to show her work and teach internationally as part of a US Navy family. Her glass journey started in 2008 with glass blowing classes at Tidewater Community College in Portsmouth, Virginia. In 2010, her focus shifted to fused glass. While living overseas, she had the incredible opportunity to take the Orsoni Master in Mosaic class in Venice, Italy. After her family retired from the military, they settled in Belfast to be near family. Sharon says, “Glass is a tool to bring my artistic visions, precious moments, and scientific experiments together in a way they can be shared with others. Everyone wants to find a way to leave their mark on the world, and for me, I find this through my glasswork.”   Waterfall Arts 256 High Street Belfast, ME 04915

YOU ARE NEVER ALONE: EXHIBITION OPENING & RECEPTION April 27 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm   FREE   Please join us for an opening reception for our Spring exhibition: You Are Never Alone, featuring the artwork of Sally Stanton, Libby Sipe, and Emily Sabino. This show investigates inner images and messaging that reminds us that we are never truly alone in our lives. In difficult times, we may feel like we are on the outside looking in, wondering if we are the only one who feels or thinks like we do. But this is rarely true; seemingly unique challenges are experienced by many, and for artists, there is always an opportunity to encounter guidance, connection and expanded perception while in the studio. Sally Stanton’s visual narratives are expressed in bold colors and come from memories, dreams, and the human stories that filter through her subconscious from the unquiet world. Libby Sipe’s dramatic images express the intuitive processing and acceptance of memory and past trauma, so that healing can occur in the present. And Emily Sabino’s archetypal images celebrate the sentience and intelligence of the natural world, an expansive melting into earth magic. These paintings just may inspire the viewer to rethink what allies walk alongside us, seen and unseen. “Do not feel lonely: the entire universe is inside you.” —Rumi   Waterfall Arts 256 High Street Belfast, ME 04915 207-338-2222
