Jane Newman: Upcoming Creative Craft and Decoration Workshops at the Museum

Jane Newman will be leading a series of creative workshops at the Cortes Island Museum this season.  

“The museum was in contact with me about running some programming this fall,” she explained. “After thinking about it I was like, ‘yeah,  I’m really interested, but I only want to run creative programming.
