Plenty of sunshine for today’s cyanotypes project!

Krafty Kids made sweet pom pom turtles today!

Special thanks to author Toni Gillson for sharing her new book written for her then 4 year old granddaughter. Toni also brought along craft supplies for the children. Nice Summer afternoon activity.

We had a great afternoon learning the traditional craft of broom making. It was fascinating to watch a bundle of broomcorn gradually take shape into a hand-tied whisk broom as each participant learned the techniques and created one of their own.

Many thanks to instructors Cutter Hutton and Ayumi Kodama for sharing their expertise, Kristen, Makerspace Extraordinaire, for connecting us with them, and to everyone who joined us for making it such an enjoyable workshop.

That’s a wrap on another successful pastels class! Thank you to instructor Jeneane Lunn for sharing her extensive knowledge and passion for art with us.

If you’d like to be among the first to hear about future art classes and workshops, email Lee at [email protected] to be added to our arts email list.

Join us on Monday, August 3rd at 4 PM for a fun-filled book reading and craft activity with children’s author Toni Gillson!
