Mask Mandate will end as of tomorrow, Wednesday, November 10th

Posted on November 9, 2021 by Groton

The Town of Groton Covid-19 Indoor Mask Mandate will end as of tomorrow, Wednesday, November 10th. While we continue to suggest practicing LLHD’s recommendations for Staying Safe from Covid-19 as Communities Reopen (information link below), masks will no longer be required in the Groton Community Center or the Groton Senior Center.

However, please note, Groton Parks & Recreation programs taking place at Groton Public School buildings must still adhere to the Governor’s existing school mask mandate.

Also, in keeping with CDC guidelines, Connecticut continues to require that masks be worn on public and private transit vehicles. So, persons utilizing the Groton Senior Center’s buses/vans for transportation must still wear masks.

The Process of Watercolors: Parts 1 and 2.

Posted on November 4, 2021 by Lyme / Old Lyme

The Process of Watercolors–Part 1 and 2   November 1st and 8th
from 1:00-3:00pm. Instructor : Jeanette Green Beginner/Intermediate Level

Watercolor is a beautiful, transparent medium that takes planning and foresight to master. Using a reference photograph of a simple still life, students will plan out the stages of painting, then work on their composition.

As they progress through the stages they will paint washes, build up darker shaded areas and use textures to complete their painting. All students will work from the same reference photo. In Part 2 students will finish the painting they started in Part 1.
Limited space available. Call (860)434-4127 ext.1 to sign up. Cost is $12.00 for workshop. Prepayment is required.
