Woodland Print Deer Paper Cut by TinyLittleNest

Have you ever admired those beautiful and delicate paper snowflakes that seem so intricate that they must be next to impossible to create? Paper cutting arts appear worldwide, including the finely crafted designs created by the Pennsylvania Dutch craft called Fraktur.

On April 1, from 2 - 3PM, you can enjoy an introductory workshop with our member Yvonne, of Tiny Little Nest, at The Pine Plains Free Library. Yvonne will take you through a brief history of the craft and get you on your way to learning this intricate technique. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! Plus, you will leave with your own creation. The workshop is free for ages 15 and older, but space is limited, so register soon.

Where to Find Makers On Hudson

A Wrinkle in Time

 



"Celebrating inventiveness, imagination and innovation; showcasing wearable artwork powered by the imagination of art and science" is how the d'Art Center in Norfolk Virginia describes their current show entitled The Time Machine. The show is part of the Wearable Arts Festival running from March 14 - April 29 in three locations throughout the city. Kathryn, of Huzzah! Unique, Handmade Wearables , has three of her wearable art, nuno felted shawls featured in the show. Two painters were inspiration for her work: Van Gogh and O'Keefe. If you are traveling to the area, you could add a stop to see all the wearable art inspired by both Art and Science to your itinerary.
