SUMMARY:Sun Print Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about the principles of photography and then make a sun print to take home!  Kids will explore how light can transform the Sunprint paper similar to photography.  The blue molecules embedded in the paper are sensitive to ultra-violet light. We will arrange objects onto the 4″x4″ Sunprint paper indoors.  We will then take it outside & lay it out to expose the paper.  The areas of the paper exposed to the sun will fade from blue to white (2-5 minutes).   We will then rinse the paper in water & whatever was not exposed will washout & be white.  A piece of art is created.  For ages 5+ \nJoin us to learn about the principles of photography while making a sun print to take home!  Kids 5+ and adults will explore how light exposure can transform the Sunprint paper\, much like how photography works\, while learning a fun new art form that is powered by the sun!

SUMMARY:Journey Book Release and Signing with Local Author Beckie Elgin
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Northwest Nature Shop as Rogue Valley author Beckie Elgin\, launches her book “Journey the Amazing Story of OR-7\, the Oregon Wolf that Made History.” This thoughtful\, creative\, and well researched book is written for middle school aged readers\, with wide appeal to adults – a must read for anyone that loves wolves! Beckie will read a passage from the book and be available for signing. \nSpace is limited! Please RSVP to jeanine@kswild.org \n“Most of you know the story of this famous wolf. Journey left his homeland in northeast Oregon in the fall of 2011. He traveled south\, becoming the first wild wolf in western Oregon for over sixty years. Journey then headed into California where he made headline news as the first Canis lupus to enter the Golden State for nearly a century. By now a household name\, Journey returned to southern Oregon where he met up with a black female wolf. Since then they’ve produced three litters of pups. \nI felt compelled to write about this tenacious and important canine. He inspired me\, as he did so many others. I decided to create a book for a middle-grade audience\, but one that would also appeal to readers of all ages. This allowed me some freedom in the writing style and also enabled me to write a book that would be educational for young people. This summer I found a terrific publisher\, Inkwater Press in Portland. The people at Inkwater are dedicated to the environment and are especially fond of wolves. They took Journey under their wings and did a beautiful job editing and designing the book. They will continue to help the cause by promoting the book and organizing readings and other events.”
