Nia Routine: Trio: The Music of George Gershwin
So many standards from the American Songbook were written by George Gershwin. Embraceable You, Our Love is Here to Stay and more. So many contemporary artists are revisiting and recording new versions of the old standards like Willie Nelson, Diana Krall, Linda Ronstadt. Why? Because this music is so timeless. And it’s great to dance to. We will be dancing to new versions of the Gershwin standards. Come join us at the Zoom Stardust Ballroom. Well at least join me in my basement studio and we will have fun dancing to the Tunes of George Gershwin.
Moving to Heal
Moving to Heal Nia is a slower, less intensive class with less standing and more done in the chair. Great for people with injuries or conditions that make it hard to participate in a classic Nia class. Also good for people getting back…

Sculpting Self: A year-long community art project

This Veteran’s Day, the Cape Ann Museum is proud to announce a year-long community art project inspired by Gloucester-based sculptorWalker Hancock, who served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was pivotal member of the Monuments Men. Inspired by Hancock’s Basketball Player Series,a featured part of the Museum’s collections, every eighth grader on Cape Ann will be given the opportunity to create a small sculpture depicting themselves doing their favorite activity during the 2021-2022 school year.
In addition to learning about Hancock, students will learn how to create their own sculpture out of wire armature and clay. This hands-on activity will create a safe space for students to participate in important discussions about identity, representation, and body image. CAM Educators will visit classrooms throughout the school year, culminating in an exhibition of the student work and the Hancock sculptures…

HOLIDAY NEWSLETTER
2021
The Boat Shows and Halloween are now behind us… and the Holidays are quickly approaching.

Hot news for us:
We’ve just been recognized by Alist Nation as one of 2021Ultimate Gifts.
And we are starting to sell in Retail Gift Shops. Betsy Frost Designs in Ipswich, Seaside Allure in Marblehead, Oropa in Duxbury, Welch Company in Scituate, The Squire in Chatham and Coastalgifts.com are all carrying some of our line. And we recently showed at The Beauport Hotel Sip and Shop event in Gloucester, MA.
If last year was any indication- we will be very busy here at Ipswich River Craft, so please order early if you are thinking about giving a piece of our nautical art.

The most popular orders are still Last Name Medium size signs. But others order, Boat Names, Kids Initials, Couples Initials with a heart in between, Baby Names, Dog Names and Special Dates. And if last Christmas was any indication of what was hot… our Whiskey Tango Foxtrot was on fire.



We now offer 5 different sizes.
Sizes
Skinny Mini – great for tight spaces especially on boats – only 6 inches high – NEWEST SIZE EDITION – POPULAR WITH BOATERS.
Mini – 8.25 inches high again good for tight places.
Small – 9.5 inches high – again good inside for smaller homes – and good over hallway doors.
Medium – 10.5 inches high – is our most popular request. Its good inside or outside – also great for over door entryways.
Large – 15 inches high – and is best outside or in large rooms or big spaces. Kitchens or Cathedral ceilings work well.
Length
The length of the word dictates how long the sign will be. Feel free to reach out for a mock-up so you can see the colors and the dimensions. And you can request that the flag sign be made to hang horizontal or vertical.
Frame Color
Our traditional: White Frame with Gray Backboard is usually the way we make them. But Black Frame and Black Backboard really pop.


“Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” which stands for WTF… Where the Fish!

We had not been back to Essex Seafood on Essex Ave since they reopened a while ago and have been wondering if the magic was still there. We met friends for lunch and the magic remains! The new interior is open, clean and still smells new. The menu had all the familiar favorites on it and the staff was friendly and accommodating. One of us needed gluten free preparation which was provided simply and without hesitation. There is outdoor seating available and the inside is very comfortable. We had a lovely lunch with friends in a relaxed atmosphere. Great spot to meet people.
