Feeling the need to express yourself artistically, but you’re not sure where to start? Do your kids love art and you’re always looking for opportunities for them to learn something new? Want to get those creative juices flowing without having to plan out a project, buy supplies, and clean up a mess? Check out “Crafting with Carrie” at the Gmeiner! At each of these informal, drop-in sessions, the Gmeiner’s director, Carrie Heath, will lead students of all ages in creating a simple craft. These crafting times are free, all materials are provided, and students of all ages are encouraged to come! (Parents are requested to stay with their children if they are under 12 years old.) The materials for these crafting sessions are provided by Art’s Friends, the volunteer group that supports the Gmeiner.

There are two crafting sessions scheduled for October. The first one will be on Thursday, October 17^th from 4-6PM. Participants will have the opportunity to create a lace tile (if weather permits) or a tile thumbprint craft. The second crafting session will be held on Thursday, October 24^th from 4-6PM. Participants will get to paint a pumpkin using tole painting techniques and acrylic paint. Some come on down, learn something new, and express your creativity!
