North Fork Naturalists: Observing Nature Through a Lens... How to Incorporate Photography Into Your Nature Experience
Sunday, May 20, 2-4pm
The Red House at Inlet Pond County Park, 65275 Route 48, Greenport, NY
If you are in the 7th-12th grade and have an interest in the natural world please join us for these upcoming events at the Red House.
Join Ted and Grace Scalzo as they share with you some of their photography and offer an introduction on how to get started taking your own pictures of natural subjects.
The afternoon will include a discussion on light and why it matters, how to get close to your subject while remaining respectful and not disturbing it, the power of photography in conservation, how to combine your images into a multimedia presentation with impact and more.
This will be an interactive session and your questions and involvement are welcome. We can linger out back at the feeders at the conclusion of the talk and try some photography, weather permitting. Your are welcom to bring your own cameras and equipment.
To register for this workshop, contact Debra O'Kane at dokane114@optonline.net.

A Crewel Embroidery Workshop at the Red House
3 Sunday Mornings • May 6, 13, 20 • 10-11:30am
Want to get back to the meditative art of embroidery? Here's a chance to refresh your skills, celebrate birds and complete a simple project. We will be working from kits that include printed image on white linen, needle, crewel yarn and instructions. Choose from traditional renderings of birds on branches: cardinal on pine, wood thrush on lilac, or black-capped chickadee on pink dogwood.
Kate of Altman's North Fork Home will be on hand to offer advice and keep things moving, so that by the end of our three weeks together, it is possible to have a finished piece. The kits can be previewed at Altman's Tues-Sat 10- 6, Sun 12-4.
Cost: $20 per person for 3 sessions, plus cost of crewel embroidery kit ($20), payable in advance. (Bring your own hoop and scissors.)
Registration: Please register at least 5 days before the first workshop.
For more information or to register, visit, call or email Kate at 631-315-5040, or altmanshome@gmail.com. The shop is at 28350 Main Rd, Cutchogue.
