It's the first meeting of the school year! Join the Squad. The only group in the library that decides what everyone else in your school will be dying to read next. You make the rules. You make it cool. #squadgoals, library style.
Join
artist Pam Martinez for a 2 hour introduction to Suminagashi paper marbling.
Suminagashi is the ancient Japanese practice of creating interesting ink
patterns on the surface of water for paper decoration. After sharing a brief
history of the art form, Pam will conduct a demonstration. You will then create
your own unique marbled paper, leaving with at least 10 beautiful Suminagashi
images! No experience necessary.
PLEASE NOTE: A non-refundable $10 art supplies fee is
required and payable at the Adult Services Desk prior to the program. Cash
Only.
