CREATING WITH WOOL! – INTRO TO NEEDLE FELTING

Instructor: Glenna Gray

Time: 12 – 3pm
Location: Cannon Beach History Center
Class Limit: 12

This three hour class will introduce you to the basics of needle felting, from materials and technique to the history of the art. You will go home with a finished pumpkin or jack-o-lantern just in time for Halloween, and the skills to create anything your imagination desires!

Wool shares the structural characteristics of clay and the color blending properties of paint, and it’s soft!

Instructor Glenna Gray went to Scotland to study with Moy Mackay to learn more about this versatile medium. Moy Mackay is an award winning felt artist who developed a unique coupling of a traditional craft within a fine art.

This workshop is brought to you by the Cannon Beach Arts Association. To register please visit our website cannonbeacharts.org, email: info@cannonbeacharts.org, or call 503-436-0744.

Big Band Soul, Funk and Blues: Ben Rice & The PDX Hustle Visit Cannon Beach Sunday, September 8th @ 5PM.

While Rice started in traditional blues, he’s built upon that foundation with soul, R&B, folk and country to fashion a welcoming front porch where everybody wants to hang out into the wee hours.

The electric and high-energy band features a horn section and a thumping rhythm section to get your body moving.

“My goal is to reach people in a way that they need to be reached,” Rice says, “to say things they may not get to say or hear things they may not normally get to hear.”

This free, family friendly concert, in Cannon Beach’s downtown city park, begins at 5:00PM. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, low-backed chairs and fully stocked picnic baskets. Dogs, Frisbees, soccer balls and the like are welcome too.

The park is located in downtown Cannon Beach, northeast of the Chamber of Commerce at 2nd & Spruce.

The concert is produced by the Tolovana Arts Colony and made possible by a Community Grant from the City of Cannon Beach.

Award-winning author Kerilynn Wilson will discuss her debut graphic novel, “The Faint of Heart,” fantasy story about living in a world where people no longer have hearts, during a presentation sponsored by the Cannon Beach Library on Sept. 7.

Wilson will open the library’s Northwest Authors Series season with a presentation at 2 p.m. in the library, 131 N. Hemlock St. This is a free, hybrid event; attend in person at the library or watch online via the library’s website, cannonbeachlibrary.org.

The 2024 Oregon Book Award winner for graphic literature, “The Faint of Heart,” is about June, a teenager who lives in a world where humans remove their hearts to avoid feeling pain. June is the only person left with a heart. When she finds a heart in a jar abandoned in an alley, June hopes to return her sister to normal with it and begins an unexpected adventure with a heartless boy who is somehow beginning to feel again.

Although she lives in Oregon City, her mind tends to wander to made-up places in her head. Those places might be filled with flying jellyfish and birds that eat the stars. She says she has a “love of the weird and wonderful.”

North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection to Host Storytelling Event
Join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) on Monday, September 16, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at KALA (1017 Marine Dr.; Astoria, OR 97103) for an evening of storytelling. Doors open at 5:30 pm for socializing, chowder bowls, and refreshments.

The upcoming event entitled “DEEP DIVE: STORIES OF FORESTS & WATER” features two modes of storytelling: a reading by writer, artist, and activist Roger Dorband, and a screening of documentary filmmaker Jesse Clark’s “LIVING LEGACIES.”

About the Presenters

Roger Dorband’s forest activism began several years ago after discovering new and massive clearcuts along Highway 26, where once was an intact forest. Sickened, he channeled his shock into action: Dorband began studying Oregon forest management and various aspects of forest silviculture. His research and passion connected him with others with similar interests and goals.
Dorband spent half a decade as co-lead to the Forest Interest Group in Astoria, which successfully convinced Clatsop County Commissioners not to sign onto the billion dollar Linn County timber lawsuit. When the group dissolved, Dorband and two other activists formed the Forest Vision Project. The Forest Vision Project brought a number of excellent speakers to Astoria to give talks at Clatsop Community College and mounted a major art exhibition in the gallery featuring artists working with the theme of forests. Currently, Dorband is a steering committee member of the recently formed Astoria chapter of North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection, and continues to produce a prolific number of articles related to forestry for Hipfish Monthly, as well as numerous letters in the Daily Astorian.

Jesse Clark is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer focused on our complex place in the natural world. His directorial debut with Shane Anderson titled CHEHALIS: A WATERSHED MOMENT played on PBS in over 20 states and national streaming. Clark most recently worked as cinematographer and feature editor on the Emmy-nominated COVENANT OF THE SALMON PEOPLE, helping to tell the story of the Nez Perce tribe’s ongoing fight to preserve their lifeways and sacred salmon.
He is now focused on a new series he is writing and directing, entitled FOREST STORIES, an short film series with each episode focused on a particular issue within Pacific Northwest forestry. At the KALA Event, we will see the first episode of the series, entitled LIVING LEGACIES.

Synopsis for LIVING LEGACIES (23mins, documentary short):

A movement is born when one community’s drinking water source is threatened – and Washington State must weigh economic gain against the protection of their last tracts of
carbon-sequestering mature forests.
North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection is a grassroots group that advocates for the protection of drinking water on the Oregon Coast. The non-profit aims to end to logging and pesticide spray within and surrounding forested drinking watersheds in the State, regardless of land ownership.

We are dealing with the ramifications of industrial clearcutting and pesticide application. This not only destroys our maturing and old-growth forests, but also harms our climate, pollutes our air and drinking water, and directly impacts our health. It is NCCWP’s hope that this storytelling event will highlight the important relationship between our forested ecosystem and our access to clean and abundant drinking water on the Oregon Coast.

WATER Event!: forms.gle/LzCrjGJNsNqaxHPy8
