Benedict Arnold: Patriot and Traitor! with George Morrison
2025-07-27 15:00 - 17:00
We all think we know the story of Benedict Arnold, the American Revolutionary War general who fought for the Continental Army but then defected to the British. Recalled mainly as a traitor for his 1780 defection, Arnold had risked his life and fortune for American freedom in courageous exploits between 1775 and 1778, when the dream of independence was at its most fragile. As an officer in the Continental Army, Arnold ably led American forces in desperate circumstances against impossible odds, in a blinding snowstorm, through a howling wilderness, and against the extraordinary might of the Royal Navy. George Morrison will take you on a journey through New England, Canada, and New York tracing the complex story of this infamous American icon.

Get out of your head and into your hands as you engage yourself with this meditative activity working with mixed media to produce a 4” tall paper scroll. The result will be a work of art that can be used for book art, junk journals and collage pieces or kept intact as a reflective tool for meditation, manifestation, or prayer.
We will be using a variety of paper to create this piece through collage, stamping, mark making, and text to create this scroll. Come with an idea for a theme or just let the materials inspire your process.
This class requires no special skill or experience. The idea is to enjoy this meditative activity. Don’t let yourself think you can’t do it. It’s just paper!
