Cabin fever remedy available at the BPL…

While we are not accepting book donations until March 1st, we are accepting other donated items. We are looking for art supplies for our Crafternoons, starting Wednesday, January 15th 12:30-2:30 in our Meeting Room. Have any old or partially used materials that you are not sure what to do with? Bring them on in and we will give them new life!

Cleaning up after the holidays? We will be happy to accept your holiday cards you no longer need. Just snip the cover from any personal notes, and donate them in the big gift box over by the DVDs. We will use these as a Crafternoon workshop idea for participants to try out. 

Please consider joining us for a Crafternoon, an open creative workshop space available for anyone to try, 12:30-2:30 in our Meeting Room on Wednesday afternoons starting January 15th. Bring a friend, and come create something.

Pre-register, or just drop by. We look forward to seeing you.

Daily Art Journaling starts in February

Let’s start the new year by “drawing our days” in a journal. Keep track of your routine and daily life on paper! All skill levels are welcome and encouraged. We’ll focus on creating a habit of drawing everyday.

We’ll build on this daily practice, starting in February through May ( last Saturday of each month, 10am to 12pm) by learning new techniques each month. Come to one or all of the classes. Please bring your own permanent fine tip pen and a journal to get started.

FEBRUARY  We’ll be playing with numerous art supplies that I will share with you. Experiment with some or all of them to discover your favorites.

MARCH  You’ll create your own “visual icon” dictionary of symbols that will represent things you do daily/weekly/monthly. It’s a fun exercise and your skill will improve, the more you draw.

APRIL  You’ll design “doodle” borders for each of your pages. It’s a good practice in repetitive pattern-making. They can be super simple or complex. Just use your black pen and color them in!

MAY  Not good at drawing? Let’s try some other techniques and tricks for filling your journal. How about collage, rubber stamping, or using a journal prompt? There are so many ways you can create art for your page each day..
