MARBLE FALLS — Are you looking for a new hobby? Or maybe you want to explore your creative side but can’t really figure out how.
Why not check out one of the “vanishing” crafts during a free workshop and demonstration at the ArtFrog Art Academy on Oct. 18?
Executive director Heike Jost has rounded up 10 such arts for the Lost Arts Festival from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m at the academy, 301 Main St. The studio is located upstairs.
The crafts you can check out, and even try your hand at, include inkle loom weaving, sewing, mosaics, calligraphy, knitting, batique, basket weaving, pottery and hand embroidery.
The demonstrations are noon-4 p.m. while the workshops are 2-4 p.m. While reservations for the workshops are welcomed, they are not required.
With so much of the world headed to more technology, many of these hand crafts are fading. Even those still needed today, such as sewing and embroidery, are becoming more industrialized, and people aren’t learning them.
The Lost Arts Festival gives people the opportunity to explore those crafts, and even give one or two a try.
The day starts at 10 a.m. with a plein air sculpting program from children. This is a group project featuring “Fairy Ville No. 3.”
There also will be a community reception for the community art project “8 Fire Hydrants.” Over the past several years, volunteers have painted and decorated many of the downtown fire hydrants. The reception is at noon and takes place at the corner of Main and Third streets.
ArtFrog Art Academy is a nonprofit educational organization that offers free art programs to students of all ages, abilities and talents.
