GUILFORD-The Guilford Free Library will host two field journal workshops, offered Saturdays, April 26 and May 10, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Broad Brook Community Center.
In the first 2-hour workshop, Linda Lembke will teach the basics of bookmaking and guide participants in creating their own field journal with a pocket for small treasures and foldout pages to expand the reach of the book. All materials will be provided and each participant will take home a journal, ready for recording observations of their own choosing.
At the second 2-hour workshop, Carol Hendrickson will share ideas about what you might do with your field journals, including the work that she and others have done to fill pages with observations and personal memories. Participants will make a second small field journal and use that to create a record of their observations and thoughts while traveling around the Broad Brook Community Center that morning and share their work at the end.
The workshops are for adults and children aged 8 and older accompanied by an adult. It's recommended that folks attend both sessions, but participants may sign up for one or both.
These events are free, but space is limited and registration is required. Call the library at 802-257-4603 or email [email protected] to register.
