Yesterday was a great day at NARA Park. Bill Turville was a brilliant choice, a very encouraging teacher who

helped people figure out what they wanted to do and how to do it. Two art teachers from Acton, Celia Knights and Anne Kress (who I have known since Abby's nursery school days) also offered expert guidance, as did

Anne Krinsky. Quite a few of Celia's older elementary students came plus one mom and daughter that we saw

at the Farmers Market and a few people from Green Acton. There also were a few "drop-ins".

I would say that about 15-20 individual projects were made. There weren't any communal projects.

Pascale made a good-sized monster for display at on the library grounds.

Anne made an octopus hat to wear at the opening. She suggested items to insert into the library's garden so s

everal "floral" creations of various sizes were made. Ming and Suman were there and creating things and helping participants as well. A lot of pictures were taken. There were plenty of materials, tools and great ideas!  

Congratulations to Anne and Pascale for planning a great event, and thanks to everyone who helped out.
I hope those who couldn't attend yesterday can be part of the event on Saturday afternoon October 15 at the Sargent Memorial Library. I am sure it will be as much  fun as yesterday was! We asked Bill Turville to submit some of his pieces and he agreed to look over what he has. We also asked everyone who made something yesterday to submit
applications or bring their table top items for that day. Watch for more details on things to do in preparation for the 15th.
