SUMMARY:Vox Hunters (Trio) music performance
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Island Free Library for an afternoon filled with a blend of traditional folk music featuring songs with ties to Block Island and Rhode Island\, along with several pieces inspired by nature and natural history. \n“Flannery Brown\, Armand Aromin and Benedict Gagliardi are musical symbiosis that sprouted from a mutual loam. Soon after they began to hum in sympathy\, eventually buzz in synchrony\, and now whomp with full-lunged abandon. Like a lively fungus on the branches of tradition\, they nourish themselves on its ancient heartwood and burgeoning bough-to-be. They are the Pope’s frown\, a wagon of porcupines\, that cup of tea net to the worm bin. They sing for you and each other. As for birds? Especially so. ” \nFree event\, All welcome!

SUMMARY:Pysanka with Marlena Paulson
DESCRIPTION:With Easter approaching\, we thought it would be wonderful idea to offer a free Pysanka class. Pysanky (or pysanka in the singular form) is rooted in the Ukrainian verb “to write.” In this case\, that refers to the pretty patterns you would scrawl across the eggs. Ukrainian Easter eggs often feature intricate designs and symbols\, such as flowers\, animals\, and geometric shapes\, each with its own significance. The process involves applying melted wax to the eggshell in a design\, then dipping it into different colored dyes\, layer by layer. Once the final layer of dye is applied\, the wax is melted off to reveal the intricate design underneath. Making pysanky eggs is a labor of love that requires patience\, attention to detail\, and a steady hand. It’s a beautiful and rewarding craft that all ages can enjoy. \nAll materials will be provided; just bring your imagination and enthusiasm. At the end of this free class\, you’ll leave with a beautifully decorated egg. \nFree Event! Ages 14+ \nSeats are limited\, call the Library to reserve a spot! \nHope to see you there!
