Create
 and print a single-color linocut print of your own design! Features an 
introduction to the printing press (certification for members)
This beginner-friendly class is
 an introduction to the relief process, the technique used in the oldest
 forms of printmaking. By creating a single-color linocut print, you 
will learn the basics of relief printing. We will explore types of 
carving blocks, inks, and papers, and you will learn how to prepare your
 carving block, transfer your design, and carve and ink the block. You 
will make several prints, both by handprinting and using the printing 
press. (After this class, members will be certified to use the press for
 relief printing.)
Please read through the relief printing handout (found<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZIdbivWF_zVy7_nQBSp9lS8wLMfvIbBH/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> here</a>) before class, and bring a simple design no larger than 5x8 inches. A good beginner design has a bold image, thick lines, and no fine details.
 Keeping it simple will help you avoid frustration and allow you to 
focus on the fundamentals of printmaking. You can find some great ideas 
by searching for free black and white vector art. Several design options
 will also be available to choose from in class.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the way we create, experience, and think about art. From generating images and composing music to transforming filmmaking and storytelling, AI is opening new creative possibilities while raising important questions about authorship, originality, ethics, and the future of creative work.Join us for a moderated panel discussion exploring the evolving role of AI in art, film, and music. Bringing together artists, filmmakers, musicians, and creative professionals, the conversation will examine how AI is being used in creative practice, where technology enhances the artistic process, and where it may challenge traditional ideas of creativity and ownership. The panel will tackle questions such as: Who is the artist when AI is part of the process? What does originality mean in an age of generative technology? How should artists be compensated when their work is used to train AI? And can technology expand creativity without replacing the human voice at the heart of it? Whether you embrace AI, question it, or remain somewhere in between, this conversation promises a thoughtful and engaging look at one of the most significant cultural shifts of our time. Come listen, ask questions, and join the conversation about the future of creativity. Free Event. Thursday, October 22nd 5-7pm Moderator: Marvin Espy

Beginner workshop: Craft a wooden holiday tree and colorful stained glass ornament, combining woodshop and stained glass skills in one day!
Combine wood and glasswork in this seasonal decoration! Participants will split the day between the woodshop and the stained glass studio, with a lunch break in between. (We recommend bringing your lunch; there may not be time to get lunch off-site)
In the woodshop, participants will be instructed in use of the scroll saw to cut an intricately patterned holiday tree. Students will also make a simple wood stand. After sanding and shellacking, the tree will be ready to be adorned with a stained glass ornament.
In the stained glass studio, participants will choose a pattern and learn to cut, foil, and solder glass pieces. They will then assemble the pieces into a colorful holiday ornament to hang on their wooden tree. Please Note: Participants must be able to stand for extended periods while working with tools. Closed-toed shoes must be worn.
Ages 18+

Deans Mill Farm 

Built in the mid-1700s as a functioning livestock farm, Deans Mill Farm has gone through an evolution in recent decades.

It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf. The property can be rented for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Additionally, the bed and breakfast can be rented by the room or reserved in its entirety for complete privacy. The Farm has the ability to host small private indoor events for up to 50 guests in the Farmhouse. Outdoor tented events are our specialty, with numerous locations on-site that are picturesque for your celebration. Outdoor tented celebrations can accommodate up to 250 guests.
