Local Artist Talk with Joy Barry

In this artist talk, local encaustic painter Joy Barry shares the inspiration behind her ongoing series, The Landscapes of Hiraeth.

Rooted in the untranslatable Welsh word hiraeth – a deep longing for home, for place, or for what has been lost – the series explores themes of memory, migration and ancestral ties to the land.

Mending Mondays

a person sews denim fabric by hand on a table, with a red pincushion, scissors, and a measuring tape nearby.

Have ripped pants waiting to be sewn, a cardigan with missing buttons, holey socks?

Bring your needles, thread, and supplies and join our community mending circle!

This is not a sewing class, but a social gathering to help you to get motivated to get mending.

No registration required, drop in! FREE!
This group meets on the second Monday of each month in Community Room A.
