Noble Striders
with NACE Staff
Bringing Community Together, One Step At A Time
Since 2001, we have opened our doors to welcome community members to walk our multiple indoor and outdoor walking routes throughout the Noble High School property. Indoor routes range from 1/3 to 1/2 mile. If you’re up for a challenge, you have the option of including stairs in your workout. The outdoor routes are about a mile in distance. This is a great way to get in some exercise, especially during the cold New England months. Bring a friend or come as a family. All are welcome! Not to mention, joining is FREE!
To join, just drop by the main office to sign in and pick up a name tag. When you're done, you just sign out and drop off your name tag. Join the fun and become a Noble Strider!
**IF you are thinking of walking during one of the schools vacation weeks, please call the office ahead of time to make sure Striders will be taking place.

Cyanotype Printing
with Troy Bennett
Cyanotypes, or blueprints were one of the first photographic printmaking processes invented. They’re fun and easy to make! Discover the magic of cyanotype—a historic, camera-less photographic printing process using the sun's UV rays to produce one-of-a-kind Prussian blue and white prints. This 19th-century technique blends art, science, and nature. A hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop where students will learn how to mix the light-sensitive chemicals, coat their own paper, and arrange beautiful organic compositions. After the paper has been prepared, we’ll step outside and expose our prints in the sun; then learn how to develop them in plain water, instantly revealing the creations. No prior photography or art experience is necessary. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to play.
In this class you will learn:
1. The Basics: A brief history of the cyanotype process.
2. Chemical Mixing: How to safely handle and mix the light-sensitive solutions.
3. Paper Coating: Techniques for evenly coating your watercolor paper.
4. Foraging & Composition: Arranging botanicals (leaves, pressed flowers, twigs) and everyday objects to create striking negative spaces.
5. Exposure & Development: Using natural sunlight to expose your prints and water to stop the chemical reaction.
Please note a brochure correction: There is a materials fee of $10 is due at the start of the class.
