If relief sculpture art has always caught your eye, Pontiac Michigan artist Taylor Knight-Turner demonstrated her talent in a workshop for all ages called 'Paws, Claws, and Creativity' on Wednesday, March 4, 4-6 pm, followed by 'wine and cheese - meet and greet' at 6:00 pm with the artist.
Taylor Knight-Turner is an interdisciplinary artist currently living in Pontiac, Michigan. She holds a BFA in Art from Southern Methodist University and an MFA in Sculpture from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her research-based practice is informed by cultural anthropology with an emphasis on agriculture, suburbia, and food culture.
"Industrialized capitalism impedes our ability to develop relationships with the land we occupy," said Knight-Turner. "Factory farming abstracts food and prevents consumers from knowing how and where their food is produced. Suburbanization and urbanization sterilize and conform our environments, further distancing us from being in relationship with the land and our non-human communities. All of this contributes to the Western attitude of viewing the land as a resource to be mined, rather than a matrix of inter-species relationships that can and ought to be reciprocal,"
With an anthropological lens, Taylor’s work investigates how to rebuild reciprocity by being in community with the land we occupy and the non-human neighbors we share it with.
ThePeanutFactory,org is a non-profit organization founded by Lincoln Adams and Julia Townsend. The Peanut Factory, Inc. is an artist residency and community arts program located in a 1932 peanut processing mill at 916 Badham Rd., Edenton.

On Saturday, April 18, the Chowan/Perquimans Smart Start Partnership (CPSSP) will be hosting the 18 annual week of the young child event.
The yearly Children's Festival brings families, service providers and a massive amount of volunteers together to promote a safe and smart start to a child’s future. A variety of games and active, fun events are scheduled for the kids and a vast selection of information on services and programs to assist children and families facing the joy and challenges of raising youngsters.
In years past, the petting zoo was one of the major attractions of the event.
CPSSP program coordinator Sarah Williams, highlighted services the Smart Start program offers. “Parents who need support improving parenting skills, addressing a specific child behavior, or simply want to ensure that they are doing their best as a parent can enroll in the Triple P program. The partnership schedules both one-on-one and group sessions to help parents address child behaviors or other issues causing them stress or concern.
In the past more than 500 adults and children lined up early and enjoyed the event at Perquimans Recreation Center.
“‘We’re celebrating the lives of young children, providing them with educational experiences, while at the same time because we are a rural community, we are trying to get parents information on what services are available,” Williams said. “Many services are available, but people don’t necessarily know about them or want to ask for help. Working with other agencies and organizations in the community to come together to tackle the big issues facing early child care and education is another way of supporting families.”
This year’s Week of the Young Child Children’s Festival and Safe Kids Day begins at 10:00 a.m. and continues until 1:00 p.m at the Perquimans Recreation Center.

The Edenton Lions Club is sponsoring a Breakfast for the Blind on Saturday, March 28 at the Edenton United Methodist Church.The event begins at 6:30 a.m. and continues until 10:00 a.m. The ticket pays for breakfast plus the money helps pay for eye exams, eye glasses and a vision van along with other events and supplies.
