SUMMARY:Woodworking Workshop (BWAC)
DESCRIPTION:Working with Repurposed Wood \nThis workshop\, taught by Ryan Frank\, will be a hands-on introduction to woodworking taught using repurposed wood found on the streets and waterfront of Brooklyn. Attendees will learn practical woodworking skills using hand tools\, working with wood pieces found in nature (i.e. driftwood) and repurposed after human use (i.e. discarded furniture). Each participant will be able to choose pieces of wood that speak to them and that will be used as a raw material to work with during the class. \nWorkshop participants will be taught about wood removal (cutting and chiseling)\, wood marking (carving and engraving) and wood stabilization (sanding\, glueing and finishing techniques) and will be tasked with creating a small wood object using these processes. They will also learn about the material makeup of wood and how its lifecycle from nature to man made objects relates to environmental science and climate change. During the course of the workshop participants will create a unique wood sculpture that they’ll be able to take with them at the end of the class. \nRyan Frank is a visual artist and woodworker based in Brooklyn\, NY. He’s had solo exhibitions at the Invisible Dog Art Center\, the Mattatuck Museum\, the Children’s Museum of the Arts\, the Lilac Preservation Project\, Tremaine Gallery and Icehouse Project Space. Ryan has attended residencies at La Napoule Art Foundation\, Jentel Foundation\, Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts\, Brooklyn Studios for Dance\, SIM Iceland and the Wassaic Project. In addition to his art and woodworking practice Ryan is an ardent runner and practitioner of Tai Chi.  \nThere is limited capacity. Registration is required. \nThis is an off-site program\, located at BWAC in Red Hook.

SUMMARY:Summer Screenings: Gowanus Current
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of the documentary film Gowanus Current followed by a talkback with the filmmakers Jamie Courville and Chris Reynolds. \nA century and a half of industrial waste and raw sewage has turned Brooklyn’s Gowanus Canal into one of the nation’s most toxic bodies of water. Squeezed between some of the borough’s most expensive brownstone neighborhoods\, neglected public housing\, row houses and small manufacturing have long dotted its sludgy banks. However\, an ambitious EPA Superfund cleanup and a massive rezoning plan by the city hint that the real changes are just beginning. \nShot over the course of ten years\, Gowanus Current explores the textures of this unique part of the city and the passions and hopes of stakeholders fighting for its future. \nThis program is part of CBH’s Summer Screenings\, a series of documentary films about Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:Summer Screenings: The Amazing Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening celebrating the legacy and future of New York City’s community gardens\, inspired by the short film The Amazing Garden\, produced and directed by Hiroko Tadano Neely and Deb Levine. The film tells the story of how\, thirty years ago\, a group of passionate neighbors transformed a derelict concrete lot on the Columbia Street waterfront into a lush\, thriving green space—a powerful example of grassroots urban renewal. Following the screening\, we’ll hear directly from three of the original gardeners—Launa Beuhler\, Mildred Bishop\, and Chris Curran—who helped bring The Amazing Garden to life. \nIn the second part of the evening\, a panel of experts will reflect on the broader community gardening movement in New York City including Isak Mendes\, Deputy Director of NYC Parks’ GreenThumb program\, Steven Thomson\, former President of the Brooklyn Queens Land Trust Board of Directors\, and Kwesi Joseph\, Urban Garden Specialist\, Harvest New York. \nTogether\, they’ll discuss the vital role community gardens have played in building neighborhoods since the 1970s and 80s\, and the contemporary challenges they face—from gentrification and zoning pressures to food justice and climate resilience. We’ll also explore the future of the movement as its founding generation ages\, and celebrate the enduring power of these spaces as hubs of nature\, creativity\, education\, and connection. \nThis program is part of CBH’s Summer Screenings\, a series of documentary films about Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:Woodworking Workshop (BWAC)
DESCRIPTION:Working with Repurposed Wood \nThis workshop\, taught by Ryan Frank\, will be a hands-on introduction to woodworking taught using repurposed wood found on the streets and waterfront of Brooklyn. Attendees will learn practical woodworking skills using hand tools\, working with wood pieces found in nature (i.e. driftwood) and repurposed after human use (i.e. discarded furniture). Each participant will be able to choose pieces of wood that speak to them and that will be used as a raw material to work with during the class. \nWorkshop participants will be taught about wood removal (cutting and chiseling)\, wood marking (carving and engraving) and wood stabilization (sanding\, glueing and finishing techniques) and will be tasked with creating a small wood object using these processes. They will also learn about the material makeup of wood and how its lifecycle from nature to man made objects relates to environmental science and climate change. During the course of the workshop participants will create a unique wood sculpture that they’ll be able to take with them at the end of the class. \nRyan Frank is a visual artist and woodworker based in Brooklyn\, NY. He’s had solo exhibitions at the Invisible Dog Art Center\, the Mattatuck Museum\, the Children’s Museum of the Arts\, the Lilac Preservation Project\, Tremaine Gallery and Icehouse Project Space. Ryan has attended residencies at La Napoule Art Foundation\, Jentel Foundation\, Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts\, Brooklyn Studios for Dance\, SIM Iceland and the Wassaic Project. In addition to his art and woodworking practice Ryan is an ardent runner and practitioner of Tai Chi.  \nThere is limited capacity. Registration is required. \nThis is an off-site program\, located at BWAC in Red Hook.
