Faberge Eggs: From Fine Art to Fine Craft
Storytelling and Hands-on Painting Workshop
|
|
|
Thank you to those who attended the Saturday, March 25th program on Faberge Eggs. The new artists learned about rendering a variety of delightful images on wooden eggs, how to personalize them to your unique vision, and of their colorful history in culture. This hands-on workshop was quite a success, and we loved to see what you come up with. A large thank you to Marina for this educational and fun look into Faberge eggs!
The Chesley Memorial Library is able to offer the program through a recurring grant from the Robert C. Grano Charitable Fund to commemorate the generosity of Joseph Grano in donating the funds to build the Theodora Kalem Grano Memorial Wing in 1991. “Joseph Grano Children’s Initiative” programs promote exploration of the natural world, music, art, diverse cultures, adventure travel, and craftsmanship.
Make plans with friends as we release our Legos downstairs on Thursdays, 1-5pm for you to make sets from instructions or your own design!

Library Events
How well do you know Northwood?
Come into the library and check out our display case in the downstairs hallway. See the forms and tools that were used to make shoes for each individual customer.

We think you'll like the interlibrary loan system as much as we do. The program enables us to borrow books from other libraries that we may not have! You will be able to check out and return here at your local library without the hassle.
