| Wednesdays | 10:30 am | Yoga Class. The instructor is Paul Nix, a teacher with 20+ years teaching experience. Classes are intended for any experience level and designed to be co-ed. He practices basic Hatha yoga, focusing on alignment, breathing, holding poses for 5-6 breaths. The goal is for you to be more relaxed when leaving the class than when you arrived. You will need a yoga mat. |

| Wednesdays | 2 – 4 pm | Craft and Chat. Come enjoy good company, work on a project, or play cribbage. Mahjong is also available if there are at least 3 players. |
| Ongoing | During Library hours | Art in the Library. We are excited to have Sandy Chen-Blake as our June Featured Artist. A native of Taiwan and naturalized US citizen, Sandy enjoys oil painting and Chinese calligraphy. She is a part-time summer Steuben resident along with her husband Richard. Her flair for calligraphy stems from childhood from her talented father's tutoring, who migrated with Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan. She also learned from a well-known calligrapher's demonstrations, who visited the school in Taiwan where Sandy worked in the library. The hand-done ink calligraphy documents are done in traditional Mandarin in the ancient style called Zhuanshu and repeat classical Chinese poems and philosophic sayings. Her love of painting, which has also proved good therapy for her anxiety issues, developed lately especially during the COVID shut-down at her work and her ensuing retirement both here in Steuben and back in Taiwan. Sandy spent several months a few years ago in Taiwan, getting oil painting and sketching tips and guidance from a local accomplished instructor. She enjoys the peace and quiet and natural light at the old Blake house on Village Road to paint local scenes and items, like blueberries, Canada geese in Tunk Stream, lobsters and puffins, as well as reproducing pictures of her grandchildren in New York. In Taiwan she has had space in her top-floor apartment patio gazebo to capture landscapes and imitate the style of masters like Van Gogh and Monet. She has exhibited her talents in the past at the Winter Harbor Lobster Festival Arts & Crafts Show and now is delighted to display some of her works at the Henry Moore Library during library hours. Sandy hopes to continue her calligraphy, sketching and painting this summer in Maine and back in Taiwan this fall and winter. She prays that her offerings will please the viewers and encourage them to pursue their own artistic talents. |
