New sessions of Open Studio – Monotype Printmaking are here! In response to increased popularity and demand, we are excited to announce that there are now 2 different levels for the program: INTRO and ADVANCED. This is an ADVANCED session for participants who have taken attended a minimum of TWO Open Studio – Monotype Printmaking sessions at The Church.
On Friday, June 19th, from 1:00-3:00PM, individuals of all ages are invited to join artist Annemarie Waugh at The Church for a drop-in workshop crafting small terracotta sculptures for inclusion in Bitterest Sweet, 2025, a site-specific installation at Sylvester Manor.
Dedicated to the enslaved Africans, indigenous Manhasset Indians, and Irish and English indentured servants who lived, worked, and died at Sylvester Manor, this installation features the shape of the Nkyinkyim ‘twisting’ symbol of the Adinkra, representing the Gyaman people of Ghana and the Côte d'Ivoire. Inside the symbol, a series of terracotta clay sculptures will be placed, each handcrafted by members of the community.
All necessary tools and materials will be provided.

What is blocking you from being happy, leading a full life, and moving you forward? No stranger to healing, Brahna Yassky, painter, and author, who is trained in art therapy invites you to find out in this Wellness Monday. Using healing techniques that she herself has used, Brahna welcomes you to look at the world in a different way. Using an intense focus on a particular object, art, and writing, participants will uncover memories, sensations, and emotions that are tied to their wellness.
In this hands-on workshop participants are asked to bring with them an object that has great significance to them (or a photo if the object cannot be moved), their own art supplies (sketchbook, pencils, watercolors, paintbrush), a notebook, and a pen. Through Brahna’s guidance, you will spend your time during the workshop drawing or painting the object and/or activating your language center as you write about the object. There will be an opportunity to share your thoughts and reflections on your work.
In 1982 Brahna was literally on fire. This accident resulted in Brahna’s arduous and painful healing journey. This journey and the path to her success are documented in her book Slow Dancing with Fire – A Memoir of Resilience. Brahna will read a passage from the book that illuminates how she learned to see differently. The author and artist welcomes you to learn from her experience, engage in community, and chip away at the things holding you back so you can bloom in your wellness. Copies of Brahna’s book will be available for purchase.
