Special Events and Traditions at Sandbridge

Sandbridge is about much more than the workshop and the actual class time. It is about building a community and sharing. Along those lines, there are many informal and formal events and traditions. If you have a talent you would like to share with us, let Ken know. Here are some of the many traditions and events that happen during the week.
Watercolor classes - For several years, Nancy Gray (week #1 and Spring) has run water-color classes during our lunch time break.

Zentangle - Last year, Holly Williams (week #2) introduced us to Zentangle

Drum circles - Marya Katz (week #3) was the original instigator of making noise! It has now spread to other weeks and has been much fun. If you have a percussion instrument, bring it!

Tech talks - Laurie (all weeks) reviews the wonders of Newzik and all those other techy things that scare you.

Wednesday coffeehouse performances - This is a super fun time to share a piece or two that you have been working on. You may play solo or team up with anyone including Ken, ML or Laurie.

Periodic fiddle lessons - Ken schedules this as time/energy permits. Bring your fiddle! Or try it from scratch as we always have a few extra fiddles!

Sandbridge scholarship fund auction - We try to have an auction every week. If you have items you would like to auction off, bring them. (the fund is super well funded though!)

Bread making – Jerry Radcliffe (week #2) makes bread daily.
