SUMMARY:Slow Stitching
DESCRIPTION:Fabric artist Helen Bellomo is back by popular demand for another Slow Stitching class at the Bacon Free Library. \nIn a busy and chaotic world\, sometimes we just need to slow down and not worry about creating a product; instead we can enjoy the process. Slow stitching is a mindful needlework process that focuses on intention and the joy of being in the present moment. Join us to learn about slow stitching. A kit (includes base fabric\, patchwork fabric pieces\, lace\, trims\, buttons\, needle\, and thread) will be provided to all registered participants. \nThis program is geared towards all ages. Children under 10 must be accompanied by a caregiver. \nThis workshop is limited to 10 participants. Registration is required.

SUMMARY:Decoding the Mysteries of Cats
DESCRIPTION:The Bacon Free Library is happy to host Certified Feline Training and Behavior Specialist Stephen Quandt for a virtual discussion of cat behavior.  Why does your kitty launch drive-by ankle biting attacks?  Does she really have to wake you up so early for food?  And what is with the overly aggressive play-fighting between the two tabbies? \nStephen Quandt\, behavior expert who has worked with the Animal Care Centers of NYC and the ASPCA\, will explain these common cat behaviors from the perspective of the evolutionary and adaptive forces that help shape their furry lives.  For example\, he’ll explain the influence of the mother/kitten relationship on the kittens’ innate needs for food\, attention\, and comfort. \nThis discussion will include a Q& A portion where you can seek guidance for your feline friends. \n\nThis program will be held over Zoom. Please register to receive the program link.

SUMMARY:Great Blue Herons: A Study of Patience and Grace
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Bacon Free Library from May 21st to June 3rd to enjoy Babsje’s stunning photography collection\, Great Blue Herons: A Study of Patience and Grace. \nBabsje was a local photographer who focused her lens on the Great Blue Herons in and around Lake Cochituate and on the Charles\, including at the dam in South Natick. She spent many very happy days floating in her kayak\, and the herons became so accustomed to her quiet presence that she was able to beautifully document their private grandeur for all to experience. \n“Alas\, my days of photographing the magnificent Great Blue Herons from the cockpit of my kayak floating on the lake have come to an end.” – Posted by Babsje on December 20\, 2023\, shortly before her death in January. babsjeheron.wordpress.com. \nShe is greatly missed. \n  \nPhotographs are available for purchase upon request. All proceeds from sales will be donated to Massachusetts Audubon Society.
