You asked, we answered. Why should kids have all the fun!? This exciting event is now available in an adult session as well!
Join local artist Dave Wallace (incendavery.com) to learn about his process for creating diary comics, and turn your own life into a work of art! Dave will lead participants through exercises that incorporate free writing, character creation, and scripting, before helping us put it all together into a finished comic.
Join City of Easthampton Nurse, Chris Southworth, for this fun session making stethoscopes. Bring a stuffie to practice using it on! Ages 3+. Registration is suggested; stop by the library, give us a call at 413-527-1031, or send us an email at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
We are delighted to be hosting an all-ages Taiko perfomance on the library lawn this summer! Taiko is a full-body performance art that blends physicality and musicality, movement and rhythm. Originating in Japan but molded by a globalized world, taiko performances pay homage to ancient rhythms as well as innovate contemporary beats. Bring a blanket to sit on if you’d like.
Mountain River Taiko is a multi-generational community group sharing their love of Japanese drumming in western Massachusetts and beyond for over 10 years. MRT practices at the Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity in Florence, MA and offers performances and workshops. For more information, visit www.mountainrivertaiko.com
