Finding Beauty on a Rainy Day

April 14, 2015 Leslie Rennolds - Assistant Director Leave a comment

Those of you with a camera constantly in your hand (or within easy grabbing distance) will appreciate the desire to find something beautiful in the most cliched of circumstances. Morning commute to work. Pouring rain. Gorgeous!

The Remembrance Structure peeks over the lush corn crop. Visit today to learn about the importance of this structure on our landscape.

Did you know Menokin has its own brickyard, Bad Dog Bricks? It uses custom brick molds created for Menokin by Northern Neck Technical Center carpentry students and their instructor, Michael Sisson. The brickyard will officially open at Menokin Makers Day on June 15. Two NNTC students who have mastered the craft will be on hand to help you make your own brick. #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #MenokinMakersDay #brickmaking #bricks #virginiaisformakers

At #MenokinMakersDay on June 15, Reggie Pearman with PhotoMath will help you discover how to make a photographic print without using a camera at all. Sun-prints use the sun as a developing agent. The result is a bright blue print like you see here. #makersgonnamake #makers #makersmovement #virginiaisformakers #sunprint #cyanotype

The @chryslermuseum Mobile Glass Blowing Studio will be at #MenokinMakersDay on June 15!

Menokin is devoted to the promotion and development of historic sites across Virginia, using The Glass House Project as a model for innovative historic preservation and interpretation. # Menokin’s $500,000 grant from the @nehgov is a 3:1 challenge, which seeks to leverage federal funds against private investment. It requires Menokin to raise $1.5 million over the next four years. These funds will ensure the stabilization of the remaining portions of the 18th century structure. # Will you #RiseToTheChallenge?
