Hope to see you!

The Delaware White-line Woodcut Guild will host a reception for Block Party, an art exhibition of works by artists in the collective, from 4:30 to 6 p.m., Friday, Nov. 1, in the lobby of the Lewes Public Library, 111 Adams Ave., Lewes.

The public is invited to attend the free reception to learn about this uniquely American art form with historic ties to the Rehoboth Art League. The artists will be present to discuss their images. The technique is a marriage of woodcarving and watercolor painting in the form of an image carved on wood and then transferred to paper. 

Guild members displaying their art include Anne Barney, Michele Bartley, Lisa Bayne, Sharon Crampton, Bob Cumming, Deborah Dircks, Fred Dylla, Jan Gilmore, Mark Harris, Mary Holland, Theresa Kehrer, Arlene Matzkin, Don Matzkin, Lindley McGrew, Lorraine Quinn, Leslie Snowdon-Jones and Lori Swift.

The Delaware White-line Woodcut Guild was formed five years ago and meets weekly at the library to share art and techniques, and to create woodblock prints. Throughout the year, guild founder Fred Dylla offers introductory white-line woodcut workshops in Lewes and other locations, as well as advanced workshops for guild members to enhance their knowledge and skills.

The exhibit will remain on display through Saturday, Nov. 30.

My next Journal to the Self workshop session is Scheduled!

I was hoping to have one in January to help everyone whose New Year’s resolutions included “START JOURNALING.”  But the next available weekend at the Cacapon State Park in Berkeley Springs, WV is March 13-15, 2015.  I’m going to try and find another location for a January date, so watch this space!  In the meantime, if you’d like to register for the March session, go to the Journaling Workshop tab and pay using PayPal.

Before the Holidays Arrive


With fall arriving September 22nd, it will be “the holiday season” before we know it.  Plenty of words have been written about not letting the holidays turn into stressful events that we can’t wait to be over.  Words about coping with grief when family and friends aren’t around to celebrate, or disappointment when expectations for a happy occasion aren’t met.  Reading all these words can be helpful, but WRITING about it all can help even more!

Here’s where journaling comes in.  There are journal techniques that will help you plan your time to make the holiday season go more smoothly.  Using others, you’ll gain the freedom to express some of those emotions that you’d rather not share with others.  At least one of the 18 different methods you’ll learn will help you understand a little better why you feel the way you do when those first turkey and pilgrim hat decorations begin showing up at the grocery store.

Sign up for a weekend-long Journal to the Self retreat at Cacapon State Park in Berkeley Springs, WV November 14-16.  Located at the base of Cacapon Mountain, the highest mountain in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, the State Park is offering discounted accommodations for the 12-hour workshop.  For more information and to register, click here.
