SUMMARY:2025 The Unforeseen Wilderness: Nature\, Bookbinding\, and Photography with Eliot Dudik
DESCRIPTION:Join a small group of folks for a six-day intensive workshop exploring an unusual confluence of interests: bookbinding\, photography\, and nature walks in one of the most profound places on Earth: Acadia National Park. Tranquility and focus will be our guide as we lodge and work on the Schoodic Peninsula\, often referred to as the “quiet side” of Acadia\, dividing our time between classroom bookbinding sessions and stepping out into a wonderland of spruce\, granite\, and sea. \nThe workshop is led by bookmaker\, photographer\, and educator Eliot Dudik\, who directs the photography program at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg\, Virginia. He has spent every summer and winter in Maine for the past decade working on his own long-form photography projects\, teaching photography and bookbinding workshops\, and exploring the coast of Maine\, especially the dreamscape of Acadia National Park. He has been visualizing this unique workshop for years and is excited to work with you this summer!\n \nThe structure of the course: Throughout our week together\, we will meet in our workspace to explore bookbinding basics including methods\, materials\, and book structures. All bookbinding tools and materials will be provided. We will practice four different bindings over the course of the week\, each building on skills learned in the previous lesson. These books will be blank and can be used as journals or sketchbooks. \nEach day will be split between classroom bookbinding tutorials and nature walks in the woods of Acadia National Park. Excursions will include morning or afternoon walks\, as well as full day trips to the busier and more popular/populated parts of Acadia on Mount Desert Island. On these nature walks\, we will attempt to take in the famously breathtaking beauty while using cameras\, pencils\, or other artistic tools and Wendel Berry’s essay: The Unforeseen Wilderness to inspire our individualized experiences. \n \nAt the conclusion of our week together\, we will each create a short edit and sequence of photographs\, writings\, sketches\, collages\, or other artworks made in Acadia and produce small books of the work. The photographs can be made with cell phones or more sophisticated digital cameras. Participants will bring their own cameras and ideally a laptop with Adobe Photoshop installed. \nThe available lodging and meal plan complete this unique and immersive experience\, allowing us to disconnect from our everyday lives and truly experience something special\, uniquely embedded inside the national park. This workshop is intentionally limited to a small group of participants to enhance the individualized experience; don’t delay signing up as this workshop will fill quickly! \nFor any questions regarding the workshop\, please contact Eliot directly at eliot@eliotdudik.com. \n

SUMMARY:Chebacco Author Program: Gifts from Former Shores with Bonnie Newsom and Catherine Schmitt
DESCRIPTION:Shell mounds—rich in clam and oyster shells\, animal bones\, tools\, and pottery—reveal the long-term\, year-round presence and sophisticated stewardship of marine resources by Wabanaki people. A 1993 underwater discovery of oyster shells\, dating back 9\,000 years\, supports evidence of ancient coastal living when sea levels were lower. Today\, while warming waters are enabling the return of oysters\, rising waters and storms threaten the integrity of cultural heritage sites. Preserving shell mounds and the Wabanaki knowledge they hold offers vital lessons for sustainable living in a changing world. \nJoin Bonnie Newsom and Catherine Schmitt as they journey through thousands of years of dynamic coastal transformation and enduring human presence. Through the lens of ancient shell mounds\, they will explore the sophisticated foodways\, seasonal movements\, and environmental stewardship of Wabanaki people\, past and present. This program is based on the 2025 Chebacco article Gifts from Former Shores. \nThis program is a collaboration between the MDI Historical Society and the Northeast Harbor Library. It will be offered in person at the Northeast Harbor Library (1 Joy Road Mount Desert\, ME\, 04662) and remotely via Zoom\, and it will be recorded for later viewing. \nPlease Register at: https://nehlibrary.libcal.com/event/13287794 \nDr. Bonnie Newsom is a member of the Penobscot Nation and an archaeologist who is interested in the pre-contact lifeways of the Wabanaki peoples. She is an Associate Professor of Anthropology and Faculty Associate in the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine. She and her husband Les are both military veterans\, and they live in Eddington\, Maine. They have four children and three grandsons.  \nCatherine Schmitt is a science communication specialist with Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park\, and previously served as a science writer and communications director for Maine Sea Grant at the University of Maine. She is the author of the books Historic Acadia National Park\, The President’s Salmon\, and A Coastal Companion: A Year in the Gulf of Maine from Cape Cod to Canada\, as well as articles and essays for varied publications. She lives in Bangor.
