Event and Programming Calendar
Upcoming Workshops
Explore the art of beading on felt. Inspired by Wabanaki beadwork traditions, this hands-on workshop highlights designs often drawn from the natural world—sun, flowers, and medicinal plant motifs. View examples from the Abbe’s collection for inspiration, then create your own beaded leaf to take home.
Create your own one-of-a-kind sun print using the historic cyanotype process—arranging objects on light-sensitive paper and letting sunlight do the rest. Inspired by Holding the Light, this hands-on workshop with Curator of Education Christiana Becker (Penobscot) invites you to explore photography without a camera and reflect your own identity through image-making.
