Other News & Events for May
/
There is always something happening at the Abbe, and this spring is no exception! Please visit our online calendar for more details.
Up next is a children's workshop led by Passamaquoddy artist David Moses Bridges. David will teach children ages 5 through 18 the art of etching designs into birch bark. David is a master artist who specializes in birch bark canoes and traditional birch bark containers. He is also fluent in Passamaquoddy, and entertains children with oral histories while they work. Participants can use David's stencils to recreate Passamaquoddy designs, or create their own designs. Children may attend either a 11:00-12:00 session or a 1:30-2:30 session, but pre-registration is required. Contact Curator of Education Raney Bench to register your child.
Other events and demonstrations will follow soon thereafter, so make sure to mark your calendar now!
