Hey bluegrass jammers come join the Waynesboro Music Bluegrass Jam at Shenandoah Valley Art Center, Saturday, March 28, from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. Jam sessions will be held in the 416 West Main St. Gallery which will give expanded space allowing for break-off jams, if merited. We will stick with the format of passing tunes in a circle and passing the hat to support the musicians, which is, of course, optional. The art center is also a terrific gallery space so check out the exhibits. There will be seating or standing room for participants. Come pick, listen, or hang out with a friend! All are welcome! (Every 4th Saturday, 3:00 – 5:00 p.m., 416 W. Main Street, Waynesboro, Va. 22980, Free!)

Gather in the Heart of Downtown Waynesboro for a meditative experience that benefits the mind while increasing your range of flexibility and centeredness in the body. Stretch & Release Yoga targets the fascia and connective tissues including tendons, ligaments and bones while creating suppleness, openness and health for our inner organs and muscles.

The Shenandoah Valley Art Center presents Drypoint Etching: An Entry to the World of Printmaking with Diane Wilkin. This Drypoint Etching class will provide you with understanding of the basics of intaglio printmaking. Avoiding toxic chemicals, we will scribe an image on a plexiglass 'plate', slather it with ink, and then polish it so ink remains only in the grooves. This will be transferred to wet paper using an etching press with LOTS of pressure. A novice can place a 5x7 image under the clear plexiglass and 'trace' the image lines. The final image is a reverse of the drawn image. Come get messy, experience an "Ah, HA!" moment when you pull the print and take home two prints and a scribed plate - all three a piece of art. Diane Wilkin is an artist/educator who works in printmaking and pastels. A past medical photographer and high school art teacher, she is retired and pursuing her new jobs: a full-time artist and energetic grandma. Her art celebrates the woods and ocean, often with children. A transplant from suburban Philadelphia, Diane is enjoying the landscapes of central Virginia. She can be reached at diwilkin@gmail.com or 215-801-4036 and you can see more of her work at www.dianewilkin.com.
