About the class: In this session, we will slow down to notice subtle shifts in the current landscape. The framework of micro seasons will inspire our mindfulness practices and creative expression. Micro seasons are an alternative way of measuring time and of deepening our seasonal wisdom. They honor the transient nature of things, while offering comfort in nature’s rhythms. We will use expressive watercolors, found natural materials, and writing prompts to map the ‘glimmers’ of the present season and house our reflections in a hand-crafted accordion book. Also known as a concertina, the accordion book with its small format and ability to expand and contract, is an ideal container for images and words informed by the unfolding season. Our explorations will draw from the expressive arts, poetry, and nature journaling. You will leave with a finished mini book as well as a renewed practice for attuning to seasonal rhythms. No previous art or writing experience is required. All materials are provided.

Seasonal Concertinas | Exploring Micro Seasons with Accordion Books (18+) is a hands-on creative workshop focused on nature journaling, watercolor painting, and bookmaking. Participants will learn to observe subtle environmental changes and document them using writing prompts and natural materials, ultimately creating a finished, hand-bound concertina book to take home. This class is strictly for adults ages 18 and older, making it an ideal option for a solo creative outlet or a morning out with friends. The registration fee is $40, which covers all your art supplies. The workshop takes place at the Eno Arts Mill in Hillsborough, which offers plenty of free, accessible parking right outside the building. You do not need any prior painting or bookbinding experience to participate. It is a smart weekend pick because it offers a quiet, structured space to recharge.
