SUMMARY:Nature Journaling in the Fall Garden with Amanda Kimball
DESCRIPTION:THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT. Thanks for your interest. \nWhen was the last time you let wonder slip into your day? \nJoin us for a few hours to slow down and deeply see what is present in the Amy Cogswell Colonial Revival Garden this fall\, then translate those impressions to paper during this relaxing workshop. \nWe’ll start with a brief discussion about seeing/drawing and the calming benefits of not just being in nature\, but deeply taking it in. Then we will move into the garden\, letting our curiosity lead the way\, noting what we are seeing with simple line drawing and watercolor. Techniques for sketching and painting will be covered with an emphasis on creative interpretation. The workshop will take place both in the garden (weather permitting) and inside the Waterman Room of the Holcombe Education Center. \nParticipants will learn the techniques of seeing/drawing\, a free form\, meditative mode of nature journaling. Demonstrations will include techniques for capturing texture\, light\, and shadow. Attendees will leave the workshop with a journal\, art materials\, and plenty of inspiration!  All levels are welcome.  Recommended for adults and teens ages 15 and older. Space is limited. \nWorkshop Registration: Members $35 / General Public: $40. Purchase here. \nAbout Amanda \nA collector of stones\, feathers and all means of natural ephemera\, Amanda is an artist and illustrator endlessly inspired by the natural world.

SUMMARY:Behind the Scenes of Museum Interpretation: An Open Session with Debbie Harper
DESCRIPTION:Behind the Scenes of Museum Interpretation: An Open Session with Debbie Harper \nHere’s your chance to be a fly on the museum wall! We’re inviting our audience to sit in on a staff development workshop entitled “Excellence in Interpretation\,” presented by Deborah V.R. Harper as the first step in our commitment to renewing the Webb Deane Stevens Museum visitor experience. During her extensive career at the Winterthur Museum\, Garden & Library\, Ms. Harper was part of a team that developed and presented this content at museums across the East Coast. Her session at the Webb Deane Stevens Museum includes exercises on analyzing objects from multiple points of view\, discussion of museum audience research gathered regionally and internationally\, and a primer on the techniques of decorative arts “connoisseurship\,” a term with a broader definition than one might expect. Members of the public audience will observe passively during the workshop but are invited to join in an open Q&A dialogue at the end of the evening. Light refreshments will be provided during an intermission. \nAbout Debbie Harper \nDebbie Harper dedicated the majority of her career to the Winterthur Museum\, beginning as a guide.
