Creative Collective - Arts & Crafts for Adults

Creative Collective promotes wellness and enrichment through art-making experience. Join our open-ended art-making program where you are free to be creative and expressive with many different forms of art! You can participate in meditative art forms that enhance mental and physical health or you can participate in more advanced technical and directed projects led by our facilitators and visiting artists!  

The focus: Block Printmaking

Participants will learn the process of relief printmaking. Printmaking is an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric. Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography, while modern artists have expanded available techniques to include screenprinting. Participants’ will have the opportunity to create multiple prints of different colors and participate in aspects of “social practice” in which artworks serve to create community spaces through sharing and trading. Feel free to bring a shirt or a bag to upcycle as well!All supplies will be provided. Registration required. Adults are welcome.  

This program will run on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month in the Mary Hollis Conference room, located on the 1st floor of the Central Library.  

(Next door to the Library Shop).
