Tiny Art Adult Craft Night

Come and make some tiny art with us!

On Wednesday , March 15th at 6:00 we will be meeting at the Rathbun Library and creating some tiny art together for our 2nd Annual Tiny Art Show on April 1st.

We will be providing many different materials for you to use in your creations. Paints, colored pencils, sea glass, pebbles, glitter, yarn and so much more! We will have some ideas displayed to help inspire your creation. It will be a fun night as we encourage the artist in each other. This program is for adults and older teens. Contact the Rathbun at 860-873-8210 to sign up as space is limited.

The club has chosen “Liberty Ladies” by Cokie Roberts for its April book pick. Copies of the book will be available at the Rathbun Library. We meet on the first Thursday of the month at 2:00PM. Join us on April 6th for some lively discussion on this title. All are welcome to join!

2nd Annual East Haddam Library System Tiny Art Show

 Calling all East Haddam Community members! It’s time for our 2nd Annual Tiny Art Show and we need you to get your creativity going! This fun, free community event is being sponsored by the Friends of the Library groups from each Library.  It is open for all artists and creators at any age & skill level.  Creating art is great for the mind!

Each Library will have 60 kits available to hand out beginning March 3rd.  The tiny art kits contain a 4×4 canvas, acrylic paint and brushes. Feel free to use other mediums or materials, whatever will fit on the 4×4 canvas! Try some sea glass art, or maybe quilt art, or even origami! Any theme or subject can be explored; we just ask that all submissions are family-friendly. 

You take your kit home, with a promise to return your created masterpiece to the Libraries by March 27th, so it can be featured in this year’s show. We will open the Tiny Art Show at each Library on Saturday, April 1st and it will run until April 15th.  Don’t miss out, come join the fun!
