Oktoberfest Block Printing Class
Participants in this two-hour block-printing session with Anna Kidd from Wild Kidd Design decorate their own bandana with stamps, using as few or as many as desired. More than 60 hand-carved block prints inspired by nature, wildlife and a north woods vibe are provided, along with two or three options for bandana colors. Attendees can also bring their own T-shirt, tote bag or other fabric item to decorate if desired.
This event is part of Ursa Minor’s annual Oktoberfest celebration, so five Oktoberfest and Ursa Minor themed blocks are also available to choose from.
The cost is $30 per person and $5 for each additional bandana/print project. To register visit wildkidddesign.com. Those who register are confirmed/prioritized for a spot, capping at 20 people due to space and resources. If there is room, walk ins are accepted. Email artkiddstudio @ gmail.com with any questions or last-minute cancellations.

Selective Focus: Diane Keinanen’s Glass Art
Diane Keinanen started creating glass window hangings 20 years ago after attending a community education class on stained glass. The medium then became a “lasting love” for her. In addition to glass art, Keinanen explores woodworking and has worked as a registered nurse for 28 years. Over the course of the pandemic, Keinanen has created live streams while creating her stained glass art. These live streams have included stories about her life and her experience as a transgender woman. More pictures of her work can be found on her Facebook page and YouTube channel. (more…)
