EAC’s ‘Festival of Ornaments,’ a trio of Zoom-based workshops for all ages, is being offered in the spirit of the center’s annual Festival of Trees, with deluxe materials kits available for participants, or detailed information available for those who’ll use their own materials from home.

First in the series will be Sara Myrick’s session on Sunday, November 29, at 2 pm. Sara will engage attendees in making a Tassel Tree Garland. The tassel trees featured on the simple and versatile 6-foot garland are in themselves a charming ornament, gift-topper, keychain, etc. In the garland project, they’ll be combined with wooden beads; crafters are encouraged to bring their own embellishments to the project to personalize the handmade decor.
Please note that while the activities are designed for participants of all ages, younger children will need an adult helper.
Materials kits (limited, and assembled with all Covid-19 precautions) are available from EAC: kits are $10 each, or with registration for all three of the sessions, participants pay $25 for all three kits. Registration deadline for each workshop is the Friday prior; materials pickup will take place the Saturday prior to each session from 11 am-noon at EAC. Those who’ll participate in all 3 workshop sessions may pick up all of their kits at once, on Saturday, November 28 from 11 am-noon.
Registrations should be made by email to Alison Brennan, EAC Education & Outreach Coordinator, at alison@eastportartscenter.org; Alison can also work with those interested in materials pickup arrangements in Calais and Baring.
