Curious about printmaking? Watch local professionals create oversized prints of their 4×8’ woodblocks using a 3-ton asphalt roller in the parking lot during the Steamy Summer Print Jam in late July. Stay for a while and enjoy local food trucks, live music, and shop from over a dozen artists selling their prints, ceramics, and other handmade treasures while you sample a special collaborative beer release from Belleflower Brewing.
Want to observe artists creating in their natural habitats? Stop by the Running With Scissors Open Studios during Maine Craft Weekend, the first weekend in October. You won’t want to miss this interactive, family-friendly event! Live demonstrations take place throughout the day and may include activities like live t-shirt printing, clay throwing, paper marbling, book binding, Lego printmaking, and more. When you’re done, stop by the RWS member 6×6 Exhibit at Belleflower Brewing to view and purchase finished works by RWS artists.
Looking for handmade gifts for your loved ones this holiday season? Make sure to stop by the annual Running With Scissors Holiday Sale, held the second weekend of December each year. Watch as the studios transform from creative workspace into a festive winter shopping destination where you can shop for locally made artwork. Food vendors will be on site so you can make a day of it, and don’t forget to treat yourself to a special gift too!
