The Inland Bays Garden Center announced upcoming craft workshops at 38320 Muddy Neck Road, Frankford. Four local women artists will share their creative talents through a variety of media from acrylic paint to decoupage to fiber art. Sandy Wood will lead an acrylic art workshop with a focus on floral design from 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, March 9. She will guide participants step by step as they master the art of painting hydrangeas, daisies and leaves, learning to create texture through the use of brushes and palette knives. Kimberly Kieffer-Brown will take participants through the steps of decoupage oyster shells from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, March 16, using a choice of designs from paper napkins. Participants will decoupage two oyster shells, edge them with gold-leaf paint and add a loop of wooden beads to each one. Finished products can be used as ornaments, wine bottle charms, napkin rings or tabletop decorations. Sharon Davis will teach a fiber art workshop for beginners in which participants will create a felted soap and a succulent vessel from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, March 23. Felting is the process of connecting or blending wool, wool roving or fiber together to make fabric. Wet felting uses water, soap and friction to tangle the wool/fibers together and produce stunning results. The vessels participants make in class will use wool from Bergschaf sheep. It is an easy fiber to work with, felts easily with temperature change and friction, and creates a firm, stable material. Kathy Dennin-Meagher, Raye of Light Studio owner, will teach a painted pots class from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Friday, April 5. Attendees will be instructed on how to paint a featured flower on a terra-cotta pot with acrylic. Participants may choose to purchase a flower from Inland Bays Garden Center to place in the completed project to take home. For more information and to register, call 302-539-1839, email events@inlandbaysgardencenter. com or go to inlandbaysgardencenter. com. |

DHS releases African American history resource guide for research The Delaware Historical Society announced the release of a new tool to direct researchers, teachers and interested parties toward resources surrounding African American history in the state and region. The research guide is meant to provide access to materials related to African American history held at the Delaware Historical Society. It provides collection-level descriptions from the manuscript, photograph and periodical collections, and various African American genealogical resources for Delaware families. Delaware Historical Society Executive Director Ivan Henderson said, “[It is] a sorely needed resource which should invite new learners to locate and explore some of the mostrequested items in DHS’s collections.” Chief Curator Leigh Rifenburg said this is an important addition to DHS’s existing research tools, making it easier than ever for new audiences to discover and access resources essential to understanding the African American experience in Delaware. The resource guide is free to download on the society’s website at dehistory.org/dhs-africanamerican- resource-guide. The scope of materials ranges from the 17th century to the present day, covering topics including slavery and the Civil War, school desegregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and African American social, religious and political life in Delaware. The guide will be updated as the society acquires new collections from across the state and can be used alongside its existing online catalogs and digital collections site. |
