Last month we opened the door to Workshop in the heart of downtown Greenville Alabama. It's a space where the three of us have merged our work along with treasured belongs to create a workroom for ourselves and a place that nurtures creativity. It's made from things collected, passed down, and now here they are together.

Supported by MuseALABAMA, a non profit devoted to bridging artists in community, Workshop is a hub for us and for you. Come see us. Try a class or workshop. Attend a gallery night or Third Friday event or just stop by during the week.

Hours:
Tuesday 9:30-2:30
Wednesday 9:30-12:30
Thursdays 11-2:30
Fridays (see events calendar)
Saturday (see events calendar)

Weekly musings from Jill

Have you noticed that in a time of advancing technology the return to handmade is now exploding especially among Gen Z and Millennials? They are leading the resurrection of traditional and handmade crafts. Many may have never grown up around knitting, sewing, pottery, crochet, or needlepoint but they are fully vested and we should follow their lead.

We can order or buy anything now, but our hands still need to make! It's what we are designed to do and it's more than just knitting a scarf. In the doing, we gain something more important. We experience the satisfaction of our hands submerged in a process.

Process leads us to something that we did not know before we started. So I encourage you to find something with a process, forget about the end result, and enjoy the journey.

It was 1986.

"Top Gun" was in theaters. Whitney Houston was topping the charts. Big hair was practically mandatory.

And a little theatre in Birmingham was just getting started.

Forty years later, Terrific New Theatre is still here — still making theatre, taking chances, telling stories and bringing people together.

On October 11, we’re going back to where it all began as part of TNT’s 40th Anniversary celebration. We’ll revisit moments from four decades of TNT history and celebrate the actors, directors, volunteers, patrons and friends who made them possible.

If you’ve ever been part of TNT — onstage, backstage or in the audience — this anniversary belongs to you, too.

Come celebrate 40 years with us.

October 11 | 1-4 p.m.
Program at 1:30 p.m.
