Summer Art Camp: Ceramic Studio Experience (5P5)
<h5>Drop off the kids for our multi-day Summer Camps or single-day Workshops this Summer!</h5><p>Our camp sessions will have limited participation and restructured for social distancing. For the safety of our campers and staff, and to maintain social distancing, the layout of the studio has changed. A dedicated room will be used for all one-day workshops and multi day camps will be in a private section of the studio. Campers will not share tools or equipment. Hand-washing time is integrated into the camp schedule, and new hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the studio.</p><p>Face coverings are required for all campers and camp staff. High-use surface areas and restrooms will be cleaned throughout the day and thoroughly disinfected after camp each day. Our camp staff will participate in additional education and training on Covid-19 strategies.</p><p><br></p><p>Our five-day Ceramic Studio Experience Summer Camps are designed for kids ages 8-15. Students will build upon their skills through the week with two days of wheel throwing and three days of hand building skills to include: coiling, pinching and slab-building. In addition to being exposed to a working pottery studio, each student will receive individualized instructions according to their interest and experience. Students will also learn basic glazing techniques to make their project colorful and truly one of a kind. Projects will be ready for pick up three weeks later.</p><p>July 12 at 1:00 pm - July 16 at 3:00 pm</p><p><strong><a href="https://iowaceramicscenter.org/event/5day-3-2/" title="Ceramic Studio Experience (5P5)">Ceramic Studio Experience (5P5)</a></strong></p><p><strong>Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio </strong>329 10th Ave SE, Cedar Rapids</p><p>Ceramic Studio Experience for ages 8-15!

York Rite Freemasonry: The Story Continues
<p>On Tuesday July 6, 2021, the Iowa Masonic Library will open a new exhibit that will feature the York Rite of Freemasonry. The exhibit, titled “York Rite Freemasonry: The Story Continues,” will show the history of the York Rite, one of the appendant bodies of Freemasonry. Using regalia, photographs, and documents from the collection of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, visitors will be able to trace the history of the Royal Arch, The Cryptic Rite, and the Knights Templar from the late 18<sup>th</sup> century to the present day.</p><p> </p><p> The symbolism of the York Rite continues the story of the construction of Solomon’s Temple, the second Temple, the search for the “Lost” word, and the chivalric orders. The term “York” is used as a reference to York, England where the first guilds of stonemasons were organized, perhaps as early as 600 A.D. The exhibit will continue through the end of the year.</p><p><br></p><p> The Iowa Masonic Library and Museums are open for tours Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The library is open for research by appointment only. For more information, or to schedule a group tour, please contact Bill Kreuger at 319-365-1438 or <a href="mailto:bill.kreuger@gl-iowa.org">bill.kreuger@gl-iowa.org</a> .</p> 2021-07-13 16:00:00 -0500

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris
<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint. This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air. While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development. What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days. As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation. It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-07-13 16:00:00 -0500

Americans in Paris: Grant Wood and Marvin Cone's 1920 Trip to Paris
<p>For three months in the summer of 1920, Grant Wood and his best friend Marvin Cone traveled to Paris to see great art, soak up the sights, and paint. This brief sojourn proved to be pivotal for both artists, enhancing their nascent interest in Impressionism and painting en plein air. While each artist discontinued painting in this style beyond the early 1930s, this trip to Paris (Wood’s first trip abroad, Cone’s second) was critical to their development. What the artists did, saw, and painted is carefully outlined in Cone’s meticulous and well-written diary of the trip, including where the artists painted on which days. As such, this diary enables the ability to date certain works to the precise date of creation. It also allows viewers to see how each artist depicted the same scene, often in very different terms.</p> 2021-07-14 16:00:00 -0500

Evening Nature & Forest Therapy Experience at Prairiewoods
<p>We invite you to join the land at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide Emelia Sautter for a walk with the natural world. Experience Forest Therapy, a sensory-focused practice that invites us to slow down and be present with self and the natural world around us. According to the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, “Forest Therapy is a practice that supports health and wellness through guided immersion in forests and other environments to promote the well-being of both people and the land. It is inspired by Shinrin yoku, the Japanese practice of ‘Forest Bathing.’” Much research has been done on the healing and therapeutic benefits of Forest Therapy. Hundreds of clinical and non-clinical studies show numerous positive effects including reductions in stress, anxiety, depression, mental fatigue, anger and pain. Improvements include better cognitive functioning, sleep, mood, confidence and creativity. Time with our nature kin also boosts our immune system, regulates blood pressure, improves relationships, increases feelings of gratitude and much more. The cost is $30. Registration is required by noon three days prior to the session. Please dress for being outdoors the entire time and bring a water bottle.
