Island Workshop Day

Island Workshop Day, held the first Saturday in May, is a partnership between HIP and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. Workshops are held at Haystack’s campus and are open to residents of Deer Isle, Stonington and the Blue Hill Peninsula. The purpose of the event is to foster community and the creative spirit.

There are seven different workshops offered including ones in basketry, blacksmithing, drawing, fiber, jewelry, woodworking and writing. The workshops are designed for beginners, and half of the places are reserved for people who have never participated in a Haystack session.
