HALLOWELL— The Harlow Gallery is again hosting its Second Sunday art workshops through June.

These free, public workshops are opportunities to both try something new and sharpen old skills; beginners to professional artists and everyone in between are welcome. All workshops are held from 2 to 4 p.m. at the gallery, 160 Water St.

Most events are perfect for families, and all ages are welcome. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.

Second Sunday workshop scheduledfor the remainder of the season: 

Sunday, Feb. 12, wire sculpture, lead by Don and Eileen Kerr

Don and Eileen Kerr offer a workshop using simple tools and wire for ages 10 and up. At the completion of the session each participant may bring home a wire figure —  which they will have made, and could be mounted on a base. Please note: Because of the nature of materials and tools, the workshop is limited to 12 participants. Don and Eileen are practicing artists with many years of experience working with children and adults. The wire provided is thin gauge plastic coated wire which is easily worked with fingers ; the few tools that are needed are provided. If you have some beads and such things as electrical components to share, bring them along and discover how they can be incorporated into your pieces. All welcome.

Sunday, March 12, collage, lead by Robin Brooks

“Drawing with Torn-Paper Shapes” comes right out of the Silberstein-Storfer Jones book titled “Doing Art Together: Discovering the Joys of Appreciating and Creating Art as Taught at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous parent-child workshop.” “I love the idea of parents and children having the chance to work in the same room. Ideally there will be a parent table and a children’s table so there can be both proximity and independence,” Brooks said.
