We welcome all skill levels to this program. Although this will not be a class, there will be menders who can help you brainstorm ideas for your repairs. We will have some tools and materials available, but we recommend bringing your favorite sewing notions from home. We will have plenty of fabric scraps, embroidery floss, yarn, and iron for pressing.

If you have ever wanted to try quilling or build upon your existing skills, now is the perfect time! Quilling art, also known as paper filigree, is a form of decorative art dating back to the Renaissance that involves rolling, shaping, and gluing thin strips of paper to create designs and patterns. Quilling with Kelly on Saturday, November 22nd, will be a fun and creative workshop focused on making Holiday cards. Your creation can be as intricate or as simple as you like, and starting with notecards is a small and manageable way to learn! Materials will be supplied.
You may know Kelly from here at WHRL, as she is our Communications Coordinator, handling our social media and newsletter publications. In her off hours, Kelly enjoys time at home with her husband, hiking, and various crafts, including quilling. She learned the art of quilling as a child with her grandmother and rekindled her interest in this art form earlier this year.

Outdoor Access Community Discussion
Following the Klondike Moutain OWL hike, we invite you to join the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT) for a community discussion on outdoor access and trail accessibility following our OWL Outing this month! MCHT is collecting data about the issues people face accessing recreation trails in our region. Through open dialogue with small focus groups, MCHT aims to discuss specific challenges and barriers our communities face, hear suggestions for practical solutions, and capture participants’ aspirations for future recreational opportunities, fostering a vision for a more inclusive outdoor experience. In the focus group discussion, we will discuss two questions with participants: “What are the barriers to accessing outdoor recreation in our region?” and “What are the community needs to increase access?”
This focus group will take place on October 18th immediately after our outing at the MCHT Downeast Field Office (160 US-1, Whiting, ME 04691). For directions from Klondike Mountain to the office, click here. It’s a quick ride, approximately 13 minutes. MCHT will provide pizza!

Women's Retreat: The Art of Seeing Landscapes with Nina Jerome

This workshop focuses on the essential act of SEEING and simplifying the landscape to its core visual elements.
The morning session will focus on short drawing exercises (using a variety of drawing tools) that encourage and guide the participants to look carefully and discover parts of the landscape that interest them. Weather permitting, we will work outside, looking at shallow and deep space compositional possibilities. The drawings will be resources for the afternoon painting session.
After lunch, we will work with acrylic paint on colorful tinted grounds, allowing the morning drawings to guide us to dynamic compositions. Review of work and discussion at the end of morning and afternoon sessions will allow participants to share their work with the group. Emphasis will be on seeing visual elements as well as the process of developing an idea rather than making completed, finished works.
All levels of art experience are welcome.

About Nina Jerome
Nina Jerome has lived in Maine since 1975. She studied Art at Mount Holyoke College and the Rhode Island School of Design and taught for forty years in public schools and the University of Maine. She draws and paints series that explore visual variations and sense of place by observing cyclical changes in light, color, and movement. For the past four years she has focused her attention on local abandoned granite quarries, former industrial sites that have been reclaimed by nature. Although her practice has been shaped by the Maine landscape, Jerome has been influenced by travels and has responded to other environments. In 2015, she spent a month as a fellow on Great Cranberry Island, surrounded by water within a small community. In 2017 and 2019, she was a fellow at VCCA, where the vines of the woods in spring led to a body of complex, layered landscape. In June 2018, she spent a month at a museum in Iceland and responded to the lava fields, brooding skies, and moving water. Jerome shows her work at the Cynthia Winings Gallery in Blue Hill and the Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Falmouth. She has exhibited at the Zillman Museum in Bangor, Maine, and will present an exhibit of quarry paintings at the University of Maine at Machias Gallery in 2025. She has created paintings for fourteen public art projects in Maine, including six murals for the Penobscot Judicial Center in Bangor.

They’re great introductions to volunteering with MITA, and give you a rare chance to explore the islands while keeping them clean for all. Volunteers ride in MITA’s fleet of skiffs to clean island shorelines, taking a break for lunch and returning by mid-afternoon.
Difficulty: Moderate. Participants should feel comfortable climbing in and out of small skiffs, scrambling over slick, rocky shorelines, and carrying bags of trash.
Required Gear

Personal Flotation Device (PFD): If you do not have a USCG-approved PDF, reach out to Lizzie at lizzie@whrl.org, as MITA has life jackets that can be borrowed
Clothing: Even if it is sunny, it can be cool and wet on the water! Bring sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and non-cotton layers for the boat ride. Depending on the weather, we may also recommend rain gear (top and bottom).
Footwear: Hiking boots, sneakers, or rubber rain boots are appropriate for this outing. You will be climbing in and out of a skiff, so plan for the possibility of getting your feet wet! If you don’t have waterproof shoes, consider bringing a second pair to get in and out of the boat.
Lunch and drinking water
A small backpack for keeping your lunch/water/supplies with you on the island.

Encouraged Gear (but not required)

Work gloves
Pocket knife for cutting line (serrated works best!)
Insect repellent for ticks

Space is limited, and registration is required!
Please let us know if gas prices prevent you from participating! Contact lizzie@whrl.org.
