During January and February, classes will be on the Patio outside of the Loft if weather permits. 

Friday mornings we will have our Loft doors open for patrons who already know how to use our photo scanners. If you're just getting started, please make an appointment for a Tuesday instead. Tuesdays at 2pm are when a team member is available to assist those who are needing help or are still learning. 

What to bring: 

Tuesday appointments are intended for beginners who need some guidance with using our photo scanners. Please call our Service Desk to make an appointment and utilize our photo scanners in our new Loft Makerspace. Our equipment can scan both negatives and developed photos. If you want to bring one friend who is also learning, we are happy to accommodate. Please read below for more details.

Zentangle Doodling is an easy and relaxing way to create some beautiful art. It's low pressure and so simple a child could do it. If you can draw a simple geometric shape you can create amazing zentangles.

This is not a follow the leader or paint by numbers art class! Complete beginners to intermediate artists can come get expert guidance from someone who has been in the arts for nearly four decades. We cover the fundamentals of art with carefully selected topics to allow students to master one element at a time. The building blocks of all good art are the same: composition, color, harmony, balance, focus, proportions, tone, edge, space, perspective, concept, etc. Learn how to improve your technique in acrylics, pastels, watercolor, graphite and charcoal and more by going back to the basics. You can work on the suggested projects and exercises or bring in your art for advice and guidance on how to improve. Questions are welcome, community is encouraged. Materials are provided. 

If you register and are unable to make it, please notify the library at least 48 hours in advance to be considerate of those on the wait list. The session runs for the whole month and registering for the first one will automatically register you for the rest of the month. Most of the instruction takes place during the first lesson of the month, followed by practice. If you can't make the first lesson, you will not be able to get the full benefit.
