Programs for Libraries
The Art teacher offers book-inspired art programs for children of all ages. These programs usually last about an hour. The art teacher provides all the materials. Adults are welcome to join in. It's always more fun when everyone makes art!
Art workshops can be seasonal. Scroll down to see offerings arranged by month. If you click on the menu bar on the left, you will find workshops that are appropriate at any time of year. In fact, the art teacher is happy to design a program just for you.
