Dalton Free Public Library

Join us for our next monthly “Grown Up Craft Night.” All supplies are provided, you just need to show up! April’s Craft: Art Collages and Greeting Cards - Artist Elizabeth Cassidy will guide participants in getting comfortable with their creative intuition and creating their own fine art collage. The piece will have nine circles: three rows of three. Then they can be dressed up by cutting up the circles and adding smaller circles and other shapes to each circle. The best part is going with what speaks to each person. It is about being free to design their piece of art. A simple frame and you can hang your art! The second part of the class will be creating a greeting card using materials that will be supplied by the teacher. Go realistic or abstract, the choice will be theirs. At the end they will have a card to send to someone, or they can get a mat and then frame it. 🎨 Space is limited, so registration is required. To sign up, call 413-684-6112 or email dalton@cwmars.org
