This program is for people 18+ only\n\nEmma Sovich is a writer and artist who lives in Ashland\, MA with her two cats\, partner\ , and a printing press. Learn more about her at emmasovich.com or find her on Instagram @emmasovich.\nEffective 4/15/2025\, we ask that anyone who r egisters for a limited space event at the Library cancel at least 48 hours prior. If they do not attend or cancel (basically no-show) they will not be able to sign up for events requiring registration for the next 3 months . We've had to take this unfortunate action due to the high cost of qualit y instructors and the number of people who neither cancel nor attend after reserving a seat. This does not apply to those who were added from the wa itlist 24 hours prior to the program (although we'd still appreciate the c ancellation if you can't make it!). Your cooperation is appreciated.\n\nIn addition\, registrants arriving 10 minutes or more after the scheduled pr ogram start time will forfeit their spot in that specific program as a res ult of missing important introductory instructions. Please plan to be here 5-10 minutes before class begins so we can take attendance and you can se ttle in for fun. \nRegistration opens two weeks prior to event. All mater ials supplied.\n*Please note: These programs are very popular so if you ca nnot attend\, please use the "cancel" link in the email you receive when r egistering\, or notify the library as soon as possible.\nThis program is s ponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library.\n\nSign Up for our Ashland Public Library Newsletters!\n\nReturn to main calendar\nRegistrati on not yet open\, but you can register online between 11/23/2026 9:00 AM a nd 12/7/2026 6:30 PM.
