Learn basic weaving techniques while wrapping a basket over a glass flower vase with BWGELI’s Tina Pearsall and Carol Losquadro.
A perfect project for basket weaving beginners and flower arranging 
enthusiasts! Shaping a basket is perhaps the hardest part of building a 
basket for novice weavers. Using the shape of a glass vase to guide your
 practice will not only build confidence but also make a beautiful 
flower holding vessel. Bottles (typically wine) wrapped in straw or 
wicker are called fiaschi (or fiasco, singular). Traditional fiaschi
 used round-bottom hand-blown glass bottles. The basket stood the bottle
 upright and protected it during transport. This project will use mason 
jars and rattan. All tools &amp; materials to be provided. Light 
refreshments and flowers also to be provided.$60 General Admission // $54 Member

 (BWGELI)’s mission is to promote and preserve the art and skill of 
making baskets for future generations. Members gather monthly and are 
generous with their knowledge. They share with each other their 
individual basket successes, experiment with new (sometimes very old) 
weaving techniques and discuss and/or demonstrate the possible uses of 
an assortment of basket-making materials like local vines, grasses, oak 
and cedar (instead of the traditional ratan). When possible, 
professional teachers are brought in to teach new techniques or the use 
of other materials. Members of the BWGELI can be found demonstrating 
their craft at local museums, fairs or parks throughout the year. Basket
 weaving instructors Tina Pearsall and Carol Losquadro
 have been weaving for over 25 years and are enthusiastic about sharing 
their passion for basketry with others who wish to learn this practical 
and timeless art form.

Join us for this family event for people of all ages to see raptors – up close! FREE FOR CHILDREN AND MEMBERS. (Non-members pay regular admission to the garden.)
A raptor is any carnivorous bird, usually predatory (they actively 
hunt other animals), typically possessing exceptional speed, sight, or 
strength.&nbsp; These magnificent animals, also called birds of prey, are 
near the top of the food chain, however, that does not protect them from
 harm by humans directly or indirectly, either by development or 
environmental degradation.
Meet four rehabilitated raptors up close and personal. The group may 
include one or more species of owl, hawk, vulture and/or falcon. Learn 
how each bird was injured &amp; then rehabilitated by the Rescue Center 
to become a wildlife ambassador. Handlers from Center will describe how 
raptors live in the wild and how humans can/should coexist with them.

Christiane Fashek began her studies of neoclassical architecture at the University of Notre Dame. She practiced in New York City, moved to London, earned a master’s in architecture and urbanism from the Architectural Association, then returned to NYC.

She is best known for “seeing” both the bold and subtle intricacies of different mosses and lichens. Spend a day with Christiane learning how to capture and celebrate the many curiosities of the natural world harvested directly from the Landcraft Garden.

Beekeeper and trained entomologist Chris Kelly will teach participants how to keep and harvest honey from bees in their very own backyards.
Learn about the humble honeybee, one of many pollinators, that are necessary for the existence of life (plant and animal) on earth. Using Landcraft’s very own bee colonies and pollinator heavy gardens, Master Beekeeper and Cornell trained entomologist, Chris Kelly, will teach participants how to better understand the importance of the bee, as well as how gardeners and wildlife lovers alike can contribute to the honey bee’s prosperity in their own backyards. Kelly will demonstrate his hands on approach to beekeeping, capped off with a demonstration on harvesting honey straight from the source. Come join us for a special closeup of the honeybee – learn the basics of how, why and what we do to establish a hive – then taste for yourself the wonder of raw, unfiltered honey.
CHRIS KELLY is a committed Long Island beekeeping educator. As a hobbyist and professional, he is uniquely able to address the concerns of both. The onset of colony collapse disorder highlighted the critical need to bridge historical practices with current day needs – his business, <a href="https://www.promiselandapiaries.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Promised Land Apiaries</a> (PLA) is focused on providing an ethical artisanal product responsibly made from start to finish. PLA’s primary drive is the health of the honeybee hive, without the intrusion of artificial supplements. What makes PLA distinctive is Chris’ personal relationships with professionals and academics in the field of apiculture. What started as a Long Island boy scout looking for his next merit badge became a lifetime of beekeeping.

Part two in this introduction to cell phone photography will dive into the behind the scenes “touch-ups” and “adjustments” of photo editing that makes “a good picture” into a work of art.
ANTHONY GRAZIANO&nbsp;is&nbsp;an&nbsp;award-winning fine&nbsp;art&nbsp;photographer,&nbsp;author and educator who&nbsp;has been capturing the beauty of the natural world&nbsp;through photography for more than 30 years. Anthony’s vision flows from what-is-perceived to what-is-felt and finally, to what-is-seen; his photographic approach often involves spending extended periods of time within a location to absorb its unique energy before attempting&nbsp;to preserve its&nbsp;experience&nbsp;in a photograph. Anthony’s creative approach succeeds in the rare capturing of a temporal place, drawing the viewer in to “experience” the beauty of the natural world – its vibrancy, its layers and light – all joining to emotionally calm the inner spirit while stimulating the sensory mind. Anthony was&nbsp;selected by the Andy Warhol Foundation as its Artist in Residence and has shown at numerous&nbsp;galleries. He is a past board member of the East End Arts Council and&nbsp;the Friends of Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge.
AGE:&nbsp;Adult Audiences
