Karen is a landscape artist based in Medford, MA. Raised in Hong Kong, she moved to the United States in 2015. Karen currently works in construction relocation, while sharing her creative lifestyle with communities in Massachusetts. Growing up in Hong Kong, she learned that nature is everyone’s treasure--and can’t be taken for granted. Visiting Maine in 2021 had allowed Karen to recognize her deep appreciation for nature, and led her to start painting. Since then, she has traveled to parts of Asia and Europe to find unique landscapes in order to expand her vision. Karen primarily works with acrylic, watercolor, and pen. I have been on a journey to find myself in the art world. The majority of my inspiration comes from nature around the world and teachings from the universe. My work usually features animals, landscapes, and plants. I aim to cultivate a friendly, calm, and vibrant environment for viewers to take space to reevaluate their relationship with the world and find happiness within themselves. My goal is to create pieces that can be utilized as a vehicle to explore viewers' body and mind. image caption: "Dear Deer (Encounter)," acrylic and oil, 14x11" https://westonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/out-the-window-paintings-by-karen-poon-21/

Born in Zürich, Switzerland, Bruno Wernli is a expressionist artist currently based in Natick, MA. Specializing in acrylics on canvas, Wernli is known for large-scale abstractions characterized by luminous, intense colors, crafted through a multi-layer technique. He is best known for his manipulation of color and form, which results in works with visual depth and textural complexity. Wernli's artistic practice revolves around the exploration of the interplay between composition, color, and chance. His works often begin with a predetermined composition and color scheme, but as the painting process unfolds, he relinquishes control, allowing the paint to interact with previous layers in unexpected ways. This approach results in compositions that are rich in visual and textural density, with each layer contributing to the overall narrative of the artwork. Wernli refers to this process as "planned spontaneity," where the principles of coincidence and chance play a central role in the creation of his pieces. Making his own canvas frames to specific proportions creates a link to his past as an architect. He also enjoys making his own paint from raw pigments to have greater control and celebrate individualism over conformity. image caption: "Neath," acrylic, 2023, 48 x 48" https://westonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/paintings-by-bruno-wernli-3/

Book an appointment for a one-hour Tech Certification class within this three-hour window.  Class capacity: 1 or 2 participants per class. Age restrictions: 3D printing and Cricut certification classes can be adapted for children 6-12 years old. Child(ren) must be accompanied by an adult; for laser cutter certification, participants must be ages 16+.

Types of Tech Certification: 3D Printer Certification 3D printers can create prototypes, replacement parts, toys, jewelry, and much more in a matter of minutes with minimal training to get started. Beginners welcome! No 3D modeling experience required. In this class, after going over the fundamental concepts of 3D printing, participants learn to find and prepare digital files for our Prusa 3D printers and each participant completes a print.  Upon completion of this class, certified individuals are permitted to use the AIC Prusa printers during AIC Open Maker Hours.

It cuts through more than 100 types of materials, including all kinds of fabric, textiles, paper, vinyl, craft foam, and wood veneer.  With the Cricut Maker, you can cut out dozens of identical felt hearts or a delicate lacy paper wedding invitation, and customize everything from a coffee mug to a tee shirt, in just a few clicks. Upon completion of this class, certified individuals are permitted to use the AIC Cricut Maker machines during AIC Open Maker Hours. Laser Cutter Certification Laser Cutters can cut extremely accurate objects out of materials like wood, leather, colored acrylic, and even felt or paper to make everything from simple boxes to highly detailed engravings and complex 3-dimensional puzzles. Popular with artists, architects, manufacturers, robotics engineers, and small business owners, these powerful machines allow you to complete your projects lightning fast and repeat them with ease. In this certification class, participants learn how to safely operate a laser cutter to cut and engrave wood. Participants are introduced to Lightburn software and create a customized keychain to keep. Upon completion of this class, certified individuals are permitted to use the laser cutter during AIC Open Maker Hours with supervision.

Karen is a landscape artist based in Medford, MA. Raised in Hong Kong, she moved to the United States in 2015. Karen currently works in construction relocation, while sharing her creative lifestyle with communities in Massachusetts. Growing up in Hong Kong, she learned that nature is everyone’s treasure--and can’t be taken for granted. Visiting Maine in 2021 had allowed Karen to recognize her deep appreciation for nature, and led her to start painting. Since then, she has traveled to parts of Asia and Europe to find unique landscapes in order to expand her vision. Karen primarily works with acrylic, watercolor, and pen. I have been on a journey to find myself in the art world. The majority of my inspiration comes from nature around the world and teachings from the universe. My work usually features animals, landscapes, and plants. I aim to cultivate a friendly, calm, and vibrant environment for viewers to take space to reevaluate their relationship with the world and find happiness within themselves. My goal is to create pieces that can be utilized as a vehicle to explore viewers' body and mind. image caption: "Dear Deer (Encounter)," acrylic and oil, 14x11" https://westonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/out-the-window-paintings-by-karen-poon-28/

Born in Zürich, Switzerland, Bruno Wernli is a expressionist artist currently based in Natick, MA. Specializing in acrylics on canvas, Wernli is known for large-scale abstractions characterized by luminous, intense colors, crafted through a multi-layer technique. He is best known for his manipulation of color and form, which results in works with visual depth and textural complexity. Wernli's artistic practice revolves around the exploration of the interplay between composition, color, and chance. His works often begin with a predetermined composition and color scheme, but as the painting process unfolds, he relinquishes control, allowing the paint to interact with previous layers in unexpected ways. This approach results in compositions that are rich in visual and textural density, with each layer contributing to the overall narrative of the artwork. Wernli refers to this process as "planned spontaneity," where the principles of coincidence and chance play a central role in the creation of his pieces. Making his own canvas frames to specific proportions creates a link to his past as an architect. He also enjoys making his own paint from raw pigments to have greater control and celebrate individualism over conformity. image caption: "Neath," acrylic, 2023, 48 x 48" https://westonlibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/paintings-by-bruno-wernli-10/
