0
0
Location: South Mountain Reservation
112 Glenview Rd, South Orange, NJ
When: December 11, 2011
Time: 10:00 am–12:00 pm

A stroll of about 4 miles at a moderate pace with only one moderately uphill section. Meet at Oakdale Picnic Grove off of Cherry Lane, about 0.3 miles south of the light on Northfield Ave., or one mile north of the light on South Orange Ave. Leader: Lou Nocito: 973-953-7099 (cell).

You are invited to join a Conservancy hike and explore South Mountain Reservation.  No need to register; just come to the meeting point a little before the starting time.  Steady rain automatically cancels a walk, intermittent showers do not.  All hikes are appropriate for children 10 and older with their families.  Bring your own water.  Ending times are only estimates and may vary due to the weather, or the pace of a particular group.  Call the leader if you have questions.

 Teens and Adults Illuminated Cards and Gifts, 12-1:45 
You don’t have to be a monastic scribe to learn the secrets of medieval manuscript technique! Create an embellished initial for the one you love using historically accurate pigments, mixed with gum arabic. This two hour workshop is for patient children 12 and up, and adults. Although similar in appearance to gouache or water color painting, this technique uses raw pigments for a very different painting experience. Liz Demaree ages 12 and up 

Great Things come in Small Packages: Accordion Book Workshop, 3-3:45 
This little 3” x 3” book is a treasure. Learn to fold a strip of paper into a perfect accordion and then embellish the pages with seasonal rubber stamps, nature inspired stamps etc. Write your text with pen or colored pencil, or use paper punches and make a counting book for the little one on your shopping list. You can design the strip first and then fold for a more serendipitous feel as you turn the pages. Finish it with a hard cover and ribbon. Adults 

Album Making Workshop for adults: 2:00 – 2:45 
While you are in the gallery, take some time to sit and learn to make an album, perfect for gift giving. All materials will be supplied to make this 6” x 6” book with pockets to hold a page of poetry, a collection of photographs for a relative or friend or a record of memories. Adults 
Family Friendly 


Mosaic Workshop 12-12:45
Make something unique for someone special. Try your hand at this festive craft. Joan Tamasco. Family Friendly
