SUMMARY:MY FRIENDS | NORDIC BOOK CLUB ONLINE
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss literature with our Nordic Book Club Online! On July 8\, we’ll be discussing My Friends by acclaimed Swedish author Fredrik Backman\, a funny and deeply moving tale about a transformative bond between four teenagers\, acclaimed as a “tribute to the forces that make an ordinary life extraordinary (BookPage).” \nMost people don’t even notice them—three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa\, an aspiring artist herself\, knows otherwise\, and she is determined to find out the story of these three enigmatic figures. \nTwenty-five years earlier\, in a distant seaside town\, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier\, telling silly jokes\, sharing secrets\, and committing small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning\, a reason to dream\, a reason to love. \nOut of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art\, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa’s care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it. The closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace\, the more nervous she becomes about what she’ll find… A testament to the transformative\, timeless power of friendship and art. \nMy Friends is available in hardcover\, eBook\, and audio download from Simon & Schuster and other retailers. \nRegister

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT — WATER-BASED PAINTING
DESCRIPTION:This event is now sold out.  \nThis series offers a gentle introduction to the tactile qualities of materials such as paper\, pastel\, paint\, graphite pencil\, and ink. Participants will explore the unique characteristics of various tools and surfaces\, learning simple techniques to get started and discover inspiration—whether drawn from the inner world or the world around us. The focus is on the process of making: approaching art as a meditative\, exploratory practice. Together\, we’ll experiment\, play\, and pay close attention to what unfolds on the page\, moment by moment. There are no expectations for finished pieces or specific outcomes —the class itself is the experience and the goal. Each session will close with a supportive group reflection\, where we’ll share and appreciate each other’s progress\, process\, and discoveries. \nIn this course\, students will explore and experiment with water-based colored paint and water using brushes on paper. \nThe series can be experienced as a complete progression or as individual\, standalone classes. Participants are welcome to sign up for the full series or choose single sessions—there is no requirement to attend every class. \n
