Experience the Hambidge woods after dark on this 2-hour guided night hike. As we explore about 1 mile of trails, participants will tune into the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of the forest at night.

Charcoal has a wild side—it can be smoky and subtle, or bold and unruly. In this workshop, we’ll court all of its personalities by working with vine, compressed, and powdered charcoal across a range of surfaces. Think of it as a laboratory for mark-making: we’ll smear, erase, layer, splash, and discover how chance and control dance together on the page.
