Get ahead of the beach combing season!
Join author Roxie Zwicker for a workshop and exploration of New England’s legendary places to discover sea glass and beach found treasures. This presentation The lure of beach combing has been around since colonial times. From shipwrecks, relentless storms and spooky maritime mysteries, pieces of sea glass are tumbled treasures speaking to us about our past. Many frosty cobalt blue shards come from medicine bottles surrounding Boston Harbor. The seaside town of Rockport, where Hannah and the Hatchet Gang launches a destructive raid on liquor, still holds brilliant fragments of the past. The treasures of Captain Kidd are rumored to be hidden somewhere in Jamestown, Rhode Island, while lost seaside amusement parks in Connecticut produced shimmering treasures now rolling in the tides. Roxie Zwicker reveals the secret clues hidden in the colorful glass, their origins and the best places to discover them.
Affordably priced at $20 per person. Each guest will receive a bag of beach found treasures.
Books will also be available for purchase after the event.
