SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food. The mother was seen with big full wings saying\, “Stay back from my nest.” It had to be close by but not to be seen. \nMy home studio is called the “Hooking Nest”\, where I watch the Red-tailed Hawks circling my bird feeders. We watch many owls around our pond hunting for small prey from the treetops. The Blue Herons and Mallards sometimes stop by for a swim. \nPlease enjoy my Owl & Raptor Fiber Art Hooked Birds. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended \nBio: I have been a fiber artist for most of my life. My educational background includes a BFA and MFA in fine arts and teaching. I have worked in many different mediums over the years\, starting with drawing and painting. I continued with weaving and had a business selling my work for many years. My love of color\, yarns\, textures and fabrics continued when I stopped weaving and found “rug hooking”. I’ve studied with many well known rug hooking teachers around the country\, learning various different  techniques from each unique artist. All of which has contributed to my fiber birds over the past years. \nI came to realize that rug hooking was a more versatile medium allowing me to create my own colors of dyed wool and yarns. I could add other materials\, like velvets\, metallics\, beads\, novelty fur yarns\, feathers\, etc. I could draw my own subjects and I could make them 3/D if I chose that look. I can work on small or very large pieces. The options are open to create whatever the artist chooses. Also\, the ease of going back and taking out something you don’t like or add more embellishments when finished is so helpful when your creating. \nMost of my recent work is of birds of all kinds. Raptors and all Water birds are high on my list to create.  I live by the water and see so many water birds. I also spent time at VINS\, watching and photographing owls. \nI was chosen as the featured artist in 2022\, at the GMRHG exhibit. I am the Education Chair for GMRHG and teach beginner rug hooking in Vermont Libraries and other Craft centers. My work can be seen on the GMRHG site virtual show. \nI am a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and show in their annual craft shows. In 2019 my piece\, “Bucky the Blue Heron” was chosen as the cover for the show and the featured piece of the show\, along with being printed on their annual tee shirts to sell. I have won best in show awards at NH League exhibits and at the Deerfield\, NH and Tunbridge\, VT\, sheep and wool festivals. My profile and work can be seen on the NH League web site. \nI have been in Celebration’s magazine 3 times and had a write up in Rug Hooking Magazine\, in 2020\, with my Pelican featured on the cover. I currently sell my work through the NH League Craft shops and at Village Art Gallery in Warren\, VT.

SUMMARY:Hive Mind Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the Massabesic Center to enjoy the Hive Mind exhibit. \nHive Mind is an exhibit based on communication and connection. For this group show\, Artists were divided into three groups\, each with a captain. The captain would present the group with an already completed work without telling them anything about the backstory or process; leaving the Artists to interpret what they perceived based on the image alone. Artists worked independently and finished the body of work\, minus the work that inspired the group\, which was given to another captain\, and they would interpret what they saw from the body of images provided. Themes and techniques were explored and all played a part in the interpretation. The finished exhibition is the full body of work from these collective Artists. \n \nNAV Arts is a group of loosely affiliated Artists\, Writers\, Musicians and Performers based in New England. Having no permanent space or gallery\, shows and exhibits are worked to different spaces\, based on a shared theme or idea. Artists of all disciplines and skill levels are welcome to take part. \n  \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food.

SUMMARY:Winter Sowing of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, Jan 10\, 2026\, 10am-11:30am \nWinter is a great time to sow native seeds. Many native seeds need to be exposed to prolonged cold and moist conditions to break their dormancy and germinate. Join us as we introduce you to native plants and guide you through this hands-on\, 6-step process. You’ll leave with a pot of native perennial seeds that will grow all year and be ready to plant in your garden next fall. \nPresenters:\nDonna Miller\, UNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener\nStacey Scaccia\, UNH Extension Master Gardener \nCost:\n$10 for NH Audubon members and UNH Ext. Master Gardeners\n$15 for non-members \nRegistration required by January 9th. If you miss the registration deadline\, please email Kimmie Whiteman to inquire about availability. Walk-ins will be accepted if space allows\, but late registrants may miss pre-workshop or cancellation communications. \nPresentation will take place indoors. Outdoor portion will be weather dependent – dress for a short walk on grassy uneven terrain. \nFor reasonable accommodation requests\, please contact Massabesic Center Director\, Kimmie Whiteman\, at kwhiteman@nhaudubon.org. \nThis program is brought to you through an on-going partnership between New Hampshire Audubon and University of New Hampshire Extension’s Master Gardener Program.

SUMMARY:Feather Trails: A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds with the Seacoast Chapter
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Program: Feather Trails-A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds \nContact Dan Hubbard for sign up: 603-978-0218 or danielhubbard@peoplepc.com. \nBirds are visible\, vocal sentinels that alert us to environmental harms. In her book\, Feather Trails-A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds\, Sophie Osborn shares her experiences reintroducing endangered Peregrine Falcons\, Hawaiian Crows and California Condors to the wild. Sophie explores the threats that imperiled these birds and reveals that what harmed them threatens us too. She will discuss what led to the endangerment of these three captivating species\, recount the efforts of biologists to recover their populations and read a few excerpts fom her book that describe what it was like to work with these magnificent birds. \nBio: Sophie A. H. Osborn is an award-winning environmental writer and wildlife biologist whose work has included the study and conservation of more than a dozen bird species in the Americas. She contributed to reintroduction efforts for several endangered birds and served as the field manager for the California Condor Recovery Program in Arizona for four years. Her first book\, Condors in Canyon Country\, won the 2007 National Outdoor Book Award for Nature and the Environment. Reviewers for the American Birding Association (ABA) chose her second book\, Feather Trails\, as their favorite bird book of 2024. Sophie also writes the Words for Birds blog on Substack.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Owls Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Enchanted Owls by Sandra Grant \nDescription: As I walk through my woodland’s path\, listen for the sounds of the Great Horned Owl’s melody as they communicate back and forth to their mates. It’s like an enchanted forest at different times of the year when all varieties of birds are singing. \nOn a recent walk I looked in front of me and saw a fledgling owl perched on a dead log on the ground. It was a Barred Owl very young\, who may have had its first flight out of the nest and was checking out the ground around him. The next day I found on the path his sibling low in a tree learning how to hunt for food. The mother was seen with big full wings saying\, “Stay back from my nest.” It had to be close by but not to be seen. \nMy home studio is called the “Hooking Nest”\, where I watch the Red-tailed Hawks circling my bird feeders. We watch many owls around our pond hunting for small prey from the treetops. The Blue Herons and Mallards sometimes stop by for a swim. \nPlease enjoy my Owl & Raptor Fiber Art Hooked Birds. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended \nBio: I have been a fiber artist for most of my life. My educational background includes a BFA and MFA in fine arts and teaching. I have worked in many different mediums over the years\, starting with drawing and painting. I continued with weaving and had a business selling my work for many years. My love of color\, yarns\, textures and fabrics continued when I stopped weaving and found “rug hooking”. I’ve studied with many well known rug hooking teachers around the country\, learning various different  techniques from each unique artist. All of which has contributed to my fiber birds over the past years. \nI came to realize that rug hooking was a more versatile medium allowing me to create my own colors of dyed wool and yarns. I could add other materials\, like velvets\, metallics\, beads\, novelty fur yarns\, feathers\, etc. I could draw my own subjects and I could make them 3/D if I chose that look. I can work on small or very large pieces. The options are open to create whatever the artist chooses. Also\, the ease of going back and taking out something you don’t like or add more embellishments when finished is so helpful when your creating. \nMost of my recent work is of birds of all kinds. Raptors and all Water birds are high on my list to create.  I live by the water and see so many water birds. I also spent time at VINS\, watching and photographing owls. \nI was chosen as the featured artist in 2022\, at the GMRHG exhibit. I am the Education Chair for GMRHG and teach beginner rug hooking in Vermont Libraries and other Craft centers. My work can be seen on the GMRHG site virtual show. \nI am a juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen and show in their annual craft shows. In 2019 my piece\, “Bucky the Blue Heron” was chosen as the cover for the show and the featured piece of the show\, along with being printed on their annual tee shirts to sell. I have won best in show awards at NH League exhibits and at the Deerfield\, NH and Tunbridge\, VT\, sheep and wool festivals. My profile and work can be seen on the NH League web site. \nI have been in Celebration’s magazine 3 times and had a write up in Rug Hooking Magazine\, in 2020\, with my Pelican featured on the cover. I currently sell my work through the NH League Craft shops and at Village Art Gallery in Warren\, VT.
