Want to express you artistic talent or find out you do have this?
Want to create something uniquely your own to display in your garden? or to give that special person?
Join other members in a hypertufa workshop – the technique of combining cement, perlite, water (and other materials) to form structures that are lighterweight than concrete and easy to shape. Click on links below:
By taking a workshop with an experienced teacher, you get a “tried and true” hypertufa recipe that works. If you make it too thin or thick, or have difficulties with the technique, the teacher is present to guide you through the process. And, you leave with a finished product. With the basic technique mastered, you will be ready to try sculptures, nature objects and other garden art, as shown on the Pinterest hypertufa web site. : https://www.pinterest.com/dhypertufa/diy-hypertufa-garden-art/

“Wings of Life” Video Shown
On June 28th 6:30 PM at the Weaverville Library, Jill Totman will introduce the acclaimed Disney film “Wings of Life.” Narrated by Meryl Streep, the documentary highlights the importance of pollination to the world’s food supply. Like most nature documentaries, Wings of Life is visually spectacular. The cinematography captures in breathtaking detail the ways in which pollinators and their colorful host flowers interact. Even basic close-ups of Monarch butterflies or hungry hummingbirds are startlingly beautiful.
