Embrace a little chaos in your art! Join Leah from Maine 4-H at the Blue Hill Public Library on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, from 3:30 - 4:30 pm for a watercolor beach scene tutorial. The catch with this art is that we'll be adding a special ingredient to the mix, so our watercolors will bloom beautifully, mimicking nature. Watch and be amazed as salt crystals transform your work before your eyes. Your waves will go from dull to dashing in a second!

Their educational efforts focus on the Maine Food System and Positive Youth Development through 4-H programs with a focus on the STEM disciplines. They are part of the nationwide Cooperative Extension System, which works through the land-grant universities in each U.S. state.

Coastal Kids Science Series with 4-H is a monthly program where youth can dive deep into the natural wonder of water.  From learning about amazing marine animal adaptations, to exploring the roles of Maine's working waterfront - we've got something for everyone!  This program is free and cosponsored by the library and the UMaine Cooperative Extension.
