Poetry on the Porch happens on a Sunday of each month 3:00 to 5:00.
We meet monthly as a group to enjoy the beauty and authenticity of the written word. We invite you to read original work (completed or in progress), share your favorite poem, or just relax and listen. When weather permits, we love our covered porch with a roaring fire and lap blankets, but, if you hate the cold, never fear!
We have indoor spaces when needed.
This is a FREE event offered by Pinecone Studio. Donations are welcome.
Unique house concerts featuring local sound makers.
Experience live music and sound in an intimate setting that allows you to interact with the performers, enhancing your experience.
Capacity is 20 -25 attendees.
You are invited to bring a friend, free of charge, only if they are new to Pinecone Studio.
Just let us know when you register.

“ZentangleTM”
Cathi Belcher
ZentangleTM is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns, called ‘tangles’. These are created by drawing combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These basic shapes are the "Elemental Strokes" in all Zentangle art, and in no time you will be creating amazing images you never thought possible.
Cathi Belcher, a certified ZentangleTM teacher, will show you the basics of ZentangleTM drawing. You will collect pattern inspiration from the outdoor space that surrounds Pinecone Studio. You’ll bring these natural elements into the Studio where Cathi will show you different patterns and shading techniques that will make your images come to life.
Learn how to adapt your ZentangleTM directly onto cards, note paper or home decor. No prior skills are needed.
