DEER ISLE — For nearly 40 years, the Student Craft Institute has brought high school juniors and seniors from larger cities and small towns to some of the most remote parts of the state and coastal communities to campus for an immersive program.

This year’s institute ran May 17-19. Instructors included Addison de Lisle (metals), Janet Hollingsworth (Fab Lab), Joe Lendway (wood), Lisa Lofdahl (blacksmithing), Devin McDonald (ceramics), Raegan Russell (graphics), and Alexa Stark (fiber), according to a news release from Kate Lochner with Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.
Wood materials were donated by Mat O’Brien of O’Brien Wood & Iron LLC of Portland.
Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, an international craft school located on the Atlantic Ocean in Deer Isle, offers workshops to participants of all skill levels as well as a residency program, visiting artist series, and programs for Maine residents.
