His novels include “Bones Beneath Our Feet,” a historical novel set around the Puget Sound that was nominated for a Washington State Book Award, and “Just Deceits,” a historical courtroom mystery.

A frequent and lively teacher of history, poetry and fiction, Schein also serves as Director of LiTFUSE Poets’ Workshop. His poetry is supported by a grant from 4Culture, and has been twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

Bloedel Reserve hosts workshops Just because school lets out for summer doesn’t mean that the learning needs to end. Bloedel Reserve is offering nature inspired workshops for children that are educational, creative and fun.

Classes are being offered Friday, June 27 and July 9 through July 11. Friday, June 27: Children’s Floral Workshop with Bloedel Reserve Florist from 1 to 3 p.m. The class is suitable for ages 9 to 14.

Discover how fun it is to make your own paper, especially when it includes natural materials such as leaves and flower petals.

Thursday, July 10: Bookbinding with artist and naturalist Heather Griffin from 9:30 a.m. to noon (ages 6 to 8) and 1:30 to 4 p.m. (ages 9 to 12).
