Revamped summer schedule: out with a bang!

I hope you’ve had a fantastic summer so far, full of wonder and creativity and the mix of busy and lazy that defines this season.  We had a great first week of camp and just revamped the remainder of our summer workshop schedule to better fit YOUR schedule.  HERE:

If you’ve been thinking of joining us, now’s the time.  With mixed feelings, we’ve decided this is our last season of workshops.   It’s been a fun year, but the behind-the-scenes work has been super time-consuming, and this fall each of us have new commitments that need our attention.  And then there are our long-suffering families….  We do still plan on running a couple of sessions of Springfield Camp next year, and Becci and I are remaining on the board of The Thought Lot.  Please continue to support this great space.  Shippensburg’s contemporary arts center needs you!

As a goodbye/thank you, we’ve planned a craftapalooza for the last week of summer.  We hope you’ll join us on Thursday afternoon, August 22nd, for any or all of the hours from 1-4 pm.  For $5, you’ll have access to lots of creative and tasty goodness:  a button machine, big bubbles (plus a wand & recipe to take home), cotton candy, icy treats, and a full line-up of crafts for all ages.  Mark your calendars and watch for details!

All workshops held at The Thought Lot, 37 E. Garfield St., Shippensburg.

Crayon Batik, 7/11 @7

Thursday's wonder collective workshop! Becci's teaching us crayon batik--painting on melted crayons for the wax resist, dyeing black, and enjoying the result. The wax is ironed out (first ironing yields a great image, too!), and the resulting 12x12 cotton is ready for a wall hanging, pillow, or bag. 7-9 pm, $15. Suitable for all ages.
