Hats, Mittens & Lap Robes

We are once again collecting mittens and hats at the library for WaldoCAP Head Start. They need mittens size infant to child age 5. Here are two simple 2-needle mitten patterns: Mitten 3-4 yrs , Mitten 4-6 yrs

We are also collecting lap robes for Triad to be given to older people in Waldo County. They can be knitted, crocheted, quilted, or made of fleece. They need to be 33″-45″ wide and at least 45″ long. They want them before Thanksgiving so please have them to the library by Nov. 18th.

All items should go in the large basket at the library. There is yarn for you to use so please stop in and help yourself. Thank you for your donations!

During September and October, Martha Piscuskas will be exhibiting both linocuts and wood block prints. Starting in 2000, she learned various printmaking methods during her time co-founding and directing Waterfall Arts, a community arts center in Belfast and Rockland. Last year she concentrated her creative time on making small and larger relief prints and considers herself an advanced beginner. She worked with Scott Minzy, and Lyell Castonguay of Big Ink, here in Maine and Merlyn Chesterman in the UK, a master printer on the Council of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.

.

Martha has lived in Liberty within walking distance of the library since 1988.  She holds a BFA in sculpture from MECA&D and currently works at the Maine Arts Commission.
