The effects of making different kinds of marks and methods for capturing curved vs. rectilinear forms will also be explored, and students will practice applying these techniques while drawing an ornate, decorative oil lamp. This is a beginner class, and no prior drawing experience is necessary. All materials provided. Ages 14+

This talented teacher will teach you to turn a beautiful piece of wood into a unique hand-turned object while learning the proper safety and operation of a lathe and related tools. You will each have your own individual lathe, woodturning tools, and several different pieces of hardwood like cherry, walnut, or white oak to select from.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCES

Cobi

blues, indie

Wednesday, September 30 • 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Born and raised in the remote town of Grand Marais, Minnesota, Cobi was already performing in smoky small-town bars as a teenager, developing the powerful vocals, distinctive guitar style, and commanding stage presence that would later define him.

He first gained widespread attention with the release of "Don't You Cry for Me" in 2016, when the song reached No. 1 on Spotify's Global Viral Chart. Since then, Cobi has amassed more than 220 million streams across digital platforms, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and the acclaimed French music program Taratata, toured internationally, and performed at renowned venues including Royal Albert Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Sydney Opera House.

His albums, including Songs From the Ashes and Love in the Wildwood, each mark a different chapter in his artistic evolution. Released in 2026, Wake Up To The Light traces a journey through loss, resilience, and renewal, moving between the darker tones of "Karma", the stark isolation of "Out Here", the optimism of the title track, and the uplifting spirit of "Music Is Healing". With Wake Up To The Light, Cobi delivers his most personal work yet.

Ryan Lee Crosby

blues, folk

Thursday, October 1 • 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM

Ryan Lee Crosby is currently based in Rhode Island, but his musical heart is in Mississippi. He has released numerous albums, toured internationally and is a leading practitioner of the Bentonia School of rural Delta blues, as well as a world music explorer. Smithsonian Magazine praised his ability to "bring influences from Africa and India to the Bentonia sound." Crosby's new album "At the Blue Front" (featuring Grammy nominated bluesman Jimmy “Duck” Holmes) offers a haunting, hypnotic meld of Bentonia and Hill Country blues. Recorded on reel to reel tape over two afternoons at Holmes’ iconic Mississippi juke joint, the album was produced, recorded and mixed by Crosby, with a selection of original compositions, traditional repertoire and fully improvised songs. Crosby finds deep inspiration and spiritual refuge in Bentonia, where he has been mentored for six years by Holmes, the man who is widely regarded as the last living master of the style. Blending reverence for tradition with a modern, trance-inducing approach, Crosby's process is informed by diverse influences that include Indian raga, ambient music and post-punk rock. For Crosby, all these seemingly disparate threads weave together through the meditative power of the blues.

Eliot Bronson with an opening performance by Callum

Americana, folk

Saturday, October 3 • 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

"Don't give me words/Words can confuse," sings Eliot Bronson, describing a slow-motion break-up in "Let Me Go," from the singer-songwriter's upcoming album Empty Spaces (out July 24th). With its cascading chorus harmonies, swirling mellotron, and distorted guitar solo, it inhabits a similar space to early Low recordings - sad and fragile but impossibly massive all at once. - The Rolling Stones

Eliot Bronson
Over the course of six albums, indie folksinger Eliot Bronson has created his own brand of American roots music. He's an award winner. A road warrior with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. An internationally-renowned songwriter with a voice that swoons and sweeps, making fans out of everyone from his hometown newspaper, The Baltimore Sun — who championed Bronson from the very start, hailing him as "a folk singing wunderkind" back when he was still playing local coffeeshops — to Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, whose work on 2014's Eliot Bronson and 2017's James placed Bronson on the same client roster as heartfelt songwriters like Jason Isbell and Chris Stapleton.

Callum
Callum is an 18-year-old recording artist from Berlin, Maryland, known for her unique tone and synesthetic approach to music. Blending alternative rock with jazz-folk, her sound draws comparisons to Finneas, Phoebe Bridgers, and Hayley Williams. With emotionally raw lyrics and a captivating stage presence, Callum creates music that feels personal and timeless - whether solo or with a band, her performance will leave a lasting impression.
