DEER ISLE – Haystack Mountain School of Crafts has extended its mentor program for high school students to include 25 students from three area schools: Deer Isle-Stonington High School, George Stevens Academy and The Liberty School in Blue Hill.

The program was developed to augment a three-day fall workshop, Studio Based Learning, offered to high school students. The Surdna Foundation and Parker Poe Charitable Trust have offered funding for eight artists to act as mentors. They and their topics offered are: Anne-Claude Cotty, pinhole photography; Pat Wheeler, collage/mixed media; Bruce Bulger, wood; Holley Mead, quilts; Frank pitcher, clay; Doug Wilson, blacksmithing; Jennifer Morrow Wilson, papermaking; and Susan Webster, printmaking.

Students working in the program will join adults from the Healthy Island Project for a one-day session this spring at Haystack. For more information, call 348-2306.
