Adult Craft Night with Pop Up Art     6:30 PM

You'll have a blast crafting a charming felted squirrel, complete with an acorn. Watch as loose wool fibers magically transform on a felt-backed embroidery hoop. You’ll also learn a unique technique that will give your squirrel a fluffy tail. Learn the joy of needle felting with Pop up Art School in a friendly environment. You'll gain the basic skills of needle felting, walking away with a finished piece, a foam block, needles, and the confidence to continue your felting journey independently.
 

Space is available for fourteen adults. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Abington Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

This month we are dining "al fresco." We will still be meeting in the Copeland Room, but with outdoor,
picnic-y dishes to say good bye to summer.

Share the name of your recipe, book and page helps, with Linda; you can email it to abadultprogram@ocln.org. We will compile a list of the recipes for reference. Be prepared to discuss informally what you liked
or did not like about the recipe.
