Tinsmithing at CMEE
An educator from the Suffolk County Farm in Yaphank will introduce kids 6 to 10 to tinsmithing during a drop-off workshop at the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton on Saturday. Participants, who will learn about life on a farm in the 1800s, will use sheets of metal, hammers, and nails to make decorative, hole-punched luminaries for holding candles. The cost is $60, $40 for museum members. The program will run from 10 to 10:45 a.m.
Registration is on the museum’s website.
Family Workshops at Watermill
The Watermill Center has two family workshops coming up. The first, on Saturday at 11 a.m., is inspired by the center’s Rhoda Kellogg International Child Art Collection and will have Matthew Mottel and Nicole Lattuca, artists and founders of Parents in the Avant Garde, engaging parents and kids in an experimental performance that will combine sounds, movement, and visual arts.
The second workshop, on Feb. 7, also at 11 a.m., will be led by Ugo Rondinone, an artist who has 12 massive sculptures on the grounds of the center. Participants will visit the sculptures and then create their own artwork inspired by them.
The workshops are free for children, $5 for adults. Advance registration is through Eventbrite.com, by searching “Watermill Center family workshops.” There was limited space available for the Feb. 7 workshop as of Tuesday.
Slime, Stories, and Chipmunks
A family movie night, an author visit, and a slime-making workshop are part of the fun on offer for kids this week at the East Hampton Library. “The Chipmunk Adventure” will be the movie on Monday at 5:30 p.m. On Wednesday, Billy Baldwin will stop in at 4 p.m. to read his picture book “Cookie Island” to kids 3 to 6. Afterward, they’ll make their own craft based on the book. Finally, next Thursday, it’s slime, two ways — crunchy and puffy — at 4 p.m. for kids 7 to 11.
Registration for all programs is through the calendar page of the library’s website.
