SUMMARY:Josie Colt & Sam Colt - Shadowings ~ Artist in Residence Show
DESCRIPTION:Step into the work of artists Josie Colt and Sam Colt. Using the setting of the Carpenter’s Boat Shop as inspiration\, this mother daughter duo spent a week at the Carpenter’s Boat Shop following the shadows and collaborating in their differing mediums of puppetry and painting. An immersive installation of darkness and light\, paintings\, and surprises awaits. \nFree Even\, All ages \nSnacks & Drinks Provided \nIn the Chapel at The Carpenter’s Boat Shop \nSam Colt: \nSam Colt is a Vermont based artist working with grassello al fresco. She layers and carves until something catches and opens into its own logic—toward the genius loci of boats\, barns\, ruins\, mountains. Sam begins with a loose idea\, but the real work is following what shows up through gesture\, accident\, and a kind of overactive seeing. Forms surface\, half-found\, half-made\, and she traces them\, repeats them\, and begs them out of hiding.  \nJosie Colt:  \nJosie Colt is a multidisciplinary artist living in Portland\, Maine. Using the analog method of shadow puppetry\, Josie works with an overhead projector creating dream-like sequences. With a background in animation and illustration\, she merges her mediums to explore the unconscious mind\, spirits\, and the human form. Josie also draws live portraits under Portraits As You Pass and facilitates figure drawing with Portland Drawing Group\, offering low barrier creative experiences to the public. It is Josie’s hope that their work may inspire something in the imagination\, and lend comfort in the shared magical weirdness of being alive.

SUMMARY:Virtual Speaker Series: Whales of the Southern Ocean with Toby Stephenson
DESCRIPTION:Whales are more than just magnificent creatures that inhabit the world’s oceans. They are crucial drivers of the marine food web\, indicators of ocean health\, and sources of invaluable medical insights\, thanks to the study of their unique physiology through science and conservation efforts. Since the days of old whaling\, when these majestic animals were regarded solely as commodities for profit\, we’ve come to appreciate them not only for their beauty and complex social structures but also for the remarkable adaptations they’ve developed to survive in the harsh\, cold\, and dark environment of the sea. \nJoin Toby Stephenson\, former Boat Shop Alum and graduate of the College of the Atlantic\, as he shares his experiences studying whales in the Gulf of Maine and following them to the Southern Ocean with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions\, where he served as a lecturer and guide. \n\n\n\nToby is a mariner\, educator\, and naturalist. Early in his career\, he worked as a carpenter and cabinetmaker before completing an apprenticeship on the coast of Maine\, where he learned to build and sail small wooden boats. This was a transformative period for him. Immersing himself in the craft of boatbuilding within the community of a small Maine town\, he learned the value of serving others. While there\, a friend suggested he “consider teaching\,” and Toby took the advice to heart. He joined the Chewonki Foundation as an educator and guide\, leading hiking and kayaking expeditions throughout the western mountains and coastal islands of Maine. \nEach month\, experts and individuals linked to The Carpenter’s Boat Shop will share insights on a range of topics\, providing you with the chance to expand your knowledge and explore new ideas. This series fosters meaningful connections within our community and beyond. \nOffered virtually on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 PM EST\, the series is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Virtual Speaker Series: Celestial Navigation with Capt. Rick Miller
DESCRIPTION:Celestial Navigation is both an Art and a Science. It has been used for centuries to guide mariners across oceans.Have you ever wondered how sailors are able to accurately navigate across oceans using celestial bodies? Have you used a sextant or wondered what information this navigational tool provides to locate our vessel on the planet? Have you heard that there is a lot of math involved in the practice of Celestial Navigation? Captain Rick Miller will answer these questions and more. The discussion will simplify the theory and process for all to understand! Celestial Navigation still works\, and it is rewarding to sail the high seas using celestial bodies to track our progress and find our way around the globe! \nRick is a recently retired Professor of Marine Transportation at Maine Maritime Academy. He instructed a variety of classes\, including celestial navigation\, for students preparing for a career at sea as navigational officers. He continues to sail open ocean passages with Sea Education Association (SEA). \nOffered virtually on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 PM EST\, the series is free and open to the public. Don’t miss the chance to engage in these inspiring conversations!

SUMMARY:Virtual Speaker Series: The Ship that Held Up Wall Street with Warren Riess
DESCRIPTION:In January 1982\, archaeologists investigating a building site in Manhattan discovered the remains of an early eighteenth-century merchant ship. Not being maritime archaeologists\, they called on Warren Riess of Bristol to co-direct the excavation of the ship. For the next three decades he studied the ship and conducted research in America and Europe to discover as much as possible about it and determine what history could be learned from ship’s remains. \nOn Thursday evening\, January 15th\, Professor Riess will present an illustrated lecture on the discovery\, excavation\, subsequent research\, and the ship’s sailing history and what he learned from its remains. \nOffered virtually on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 PM EST\, the series is free and open to the public. Don’t miss the chance to engage in these inspiring conversations!

SUMMARY:Virtual Speaker Series: Remote Emergency Medicine with Abby Rowe\, M.Ed.\, NRAEMT
DESCRIPTION:From Sea to Summit: Medical Decision-Making in Remote Environments \nHave you ever wondered how you would handle a medical emergency while coastal cruising or at sea? Abby Rowe\, president of Wilderness Medical Associates International and board president at the Carpenter’s Boat Shop\, will introduce a systems-based framework for recognizing and responding to common medical problems in unpredictable\, low-resource coastal and ocean environments. Just as understanding how an engine works helps you troubleshoot when it sputters or stalls\, understanding how the body’s systems respond to illness and injury provides a foundation for sound medical decisions when professional help is out of reach. \nDrawing on the principles of wilderness and rescue medicine\, this presentation will clarify what constitutes an emergency\, when to call for help\, and how to treat emergencies when assistance is hours\, days\, or even weeks away. The session will cover topics such as broken bones\, dislocations\, wound care\, and pain management with an emphasis on the realities of care in remote and austere settings. \nThis talk is for coastal cruisers\, offshore sailors\, and anyone who ventures beyond quick access to medical care—whether on the water\, in the mountains\, or in other remote settings. \nEach month\, experts and individuals linked to The Carpenter’s Boat Shop will share insights on a range of topics\, providing you with the chance to expand your knowledge and explore new ideas. This series fosters meaningful connections within our community and beyond. \nOffered virtually on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 PM EST\, the series is free and open to the public. Don’t miss the chance to engage in these inspiring conversations!

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Jordan Kendall Parks\, Maine Based Artist
DESCRIPTION:Jordan’s work fosters conversations about climate and environmental impacts through the lived experience as a Black and Bi-racial femme. For Jordan\, many spaces have never fully felt like they belonged. As she ages\, explores connections with a Black paternal family\, and investigates the patterns of a white maternal family\, Jordan has begun to extensively question who she is\, where and how she belongs to place\, and what people she belongs to. Jordan’s passion for engaging communities with Maine’s coastal landscapes stemmed from experiences in environmental and outdoor education and engaging people who may not have otherwise connected with southern Maine islands and waters. \nThrough interactive outdoor exhibitions and site-specific installations\, Jordan encourages people to engage with their surroundings\, find a sense of adventure and discover art along the way. On a smaller scale\, Jordan commonly uses woodcut and linoleum monoprint processes to create visuals that are heavily influenced by our relationship with the natural world and each other. \nSome Clients I’ve worked with: \nToad & CO\, Gordini\, Jetty Rock Foundation\, Evo Rock & Fitness\, Saddleback Mountain\, Indigo Arts Alliance\, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens\, Black Point Surf Shop\, Grain Surfboards\, Journey ONEderland\, HerWaves\, Send it Sister\, Swell Farm\, Rippleffect\, SailMaine \nArt is embodiment for me; it’s synonymous to the lines I draw in nature on a surf or snowboard\, it moves with the music I curate and dance to\, it is more than the visual art I create with my hands. I hold an immense amount of respect for the lands of the Wabanaki people that I currently call “home\,” and for those who have suffered and currently suffer from colonization\, oppression and genocide – my ancestors included. \nhttps://www.jordankendallparks.com
