Now you can enjoy Pop up Art School’s projects in your home! Sign up to take home a kit and watch the how-to video any time within a 30 day period in the comfort and convenience of your home. Kits are limited, so please don’t sign up unless you will watch the Pop up Art School’s how-to video. Cozy up with this relaxing felting project! In this class, you’ll learn the art of needle felting by “painting with wool” on craft felt stretched inside an embroidery hoop. Using soft, colorful wool fibers and a special barbed needle, you’ll create a charming winter scene—a snowy red farmhouse at night, framed by tall evergreen trees. Add your own unique touches such as a starry sky, a crescent moon or a chimney. Learn the joy of needle felting with Pop up Art School in the comfort of your own home.  You’ll gain the basic skills of needle felting, walking away with a finished piece and the confidence to continue your felting journey independently. Ages 13+ This program is full. If you would like, you may join the waiting list by filling out this form: Event Waiting List Name(Required) First Last Email(Required) Δ

Retired Massachusetts Superior Court Justice Dennis Curran is excited to continue his “Great American Unsung Heroes Who Changed The Course Of History” series.This month, learn about Nikola Tesla. Called a genius by some, a madman by others, and an enigma by nearly everyone, Tesla was probably the greatest inventor the world has ever known. He was, without a doubt, a trail blazer who created astonishing, life-transforming devices. But he never received the credit he richly deserved. It was Tesla, not Edison, who harnessed the alternating electric current (AC) we rely upon today. It was arguably Tesla – not Marconi – who invented the radio. And it was Tesla who introduced the fundamentals of computers, robotry, and missile science, which helped pave the way for satellites, microwaves, and lasers. Tesla remains one of the least recognized scientific pioneers and never earned the household name recognition of an Edison, Westinghouse, Marconi, or Einstein. He will get his proper due in this enlightening talk. About the SpeakerDennis J. Curran served as a Massachusetts judge for 16 years, including in the Superior Court from 2006 to 2018. Prior to his time on the bench, Curran worked as an Assistant District Attorney and First Assistant Legal Counsel to the Governor, in addition to private practice. A graduate of Boston Latin School, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Virginia School of Law, Curran has taught law at Tufts University, Roger Williams University School of Law, and Brown University.  This program is held in collaboration with the Bacon Free Library and the Tewksbury Public Library.
