CURRENT WORKSHOPS

Amulet Cosaint
Saturday, January 17th
11am-1pm

This Workshop Takes Place at The Word Barn in Exeter, NH
We can all use a powerful reminder of our self, belief, trust and calm.
​An amulet, talisman or charm is a personal ornament, which because of something inherent in the object (it's shape, material or color), is believed to endow its wearer with special powers or capabilities. 
We'll create our own tiny talismans that can be worn as a brooch or a necklace, pinned to a lapel, tied to a purse, or carried in a pocket:  Each unique piece holds a power for the owner.
During this workshop, we'll discuss color, texture and hand stitching our own story into this tiny textile.  
Each one of us will choose a color way to work within, adding elements of beads or charms as you see fit, and then filling our tiny talisman with dried lavender or rose petals to hold a special scent to carry with you.
To make this piece even more special, feel free to bring items that are personal to you, or textiles you'd like to stitch with.

 some really sweet things people have shared
about their experiences in my workshops:

the skills that I have learned under Molly's teaching are ones that I am able to apply and incorporate into any of my creative endeavors and her enthusiasm, encouragement and willingness to share "trade secrets" are inspirational. After class my head is brimming with ideas for future projects. - Beth
Thank you for the fun, wonderful,
​magical classes!
You are my favorite art teacher ever! 
The classes were pure joy! -Connie
Molly gives great detailed instructions and fascinating suggestions for what you can do.
I got the sense that she is incredibly excited about doing this and it makes me want to do it to.
​It sparked a lot of ideas for me.    -Lee
Molly is an excellent teacher and she is extremely encouraging
​for those of us that are new artists. - Cindy
...A fun course with lots of incorporated techniques and examples. 
​Molly is a terrific teacher! -Deb
I also appreciated her impreciseness -
it made the process fun!    -Pamela
...the workshop was so inspiring. Molly does an amazing job of creating weekly projects. Her approach is so encouraging and I learned so many techniques. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and looked forward to each week to see what she in store for us. One more thing is that it is pretty cool to see that people from all over can participate together.  - Karen

THE TRAVELING POSTAL CLUB

HEY THERE! 
​The Traveling Postal Club has been popping up at the
NEWFIELDS POST OFFICE
and you can all join in and create mail art!
Next date FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6th,
​lunch hour mail art! 12pm-1pm

The Traveling Postal Club

The Traveling Postal Club  is a free -to-all, community, mail-art project/gathering that fellow artist, Anne Baumgartner & I started in 2017.  Past public projects include: "Dear Los Angeles", "Tell Me One Thing" and "Remember This Name"

The ongoing project "Tell Me One Thing" was born out of a wish for wisdom.  If we can't physically be together, we can still let each other know one thing:  an 'i love you' or an 'i baked bread!' or 'did you know dogs can talk?' something that connects you and one other person.  The community comes in when you share that 'one thing, one letter, one person' with the rest of us.  The joy, the wisdom, the one thing spreads out to all of us missing our families and friends...  we can all do our part to lift each other up with one little thing! 

You can see all about our other public/community mail art projects on IG.
If you love mail-art or letter writing and want to make a difference not only in somebody's mailbox, but in someone's day, 
join us in writing to people anywhere, anytime. 

HOW TO JOIN IN VIRTUALLY
