ISLAND WORKSHOP DAY

May 3, 2025

Information about the 2025 Island Workshop Day will be available in March 2025. To keep up to date on Haystack’s programs and initiatives subscribe to our ENewsletter or follow us on Instagram and Facebook.

Haystack opens each season with Island Workshop Day, a special program for residents of Deer Isle, Stonington, and the greater Blue Hill Peninsula, and is designed for individuals 18 and over, of all skill levels and backgrounds. Presented in partnership with the Healthy Island Project.

Island Workshop Day is traditionally held on the first Saturday in May and provides an opportunity for friends and neighbors to reconnect and learn alongside one another. Given the interest in this program, Haystack accepts people based on a lottery system. We reserve slots for those who have not previously had the opportunity to participate in our other programs. 

All skill levels - from beginner to professional - are welcome.

All participants must be at least 18 years old and a resident for more than 9 months of the year of one of the following: Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Deer Isle, Little Deer, Isle au Haut, Orland, Penobscot, Sargentville, Sedgwick, Stonington, and Surry.
