Literary Art: Quilling (paper curling) – August 16th at 5:30pm

An art group for adults. We started several months ago by creating pockets and secret hiding places in old books. Last month we learned how to make paper flowers. This month, one of our wonderful volunteers, Cynthia, will be teaching us the basics of quilling (paper curling). We will have all the supplies you need to complete this project. This is a relaxed space with lots of jokes and talking while we share art and stories.

Coffee and Books - Tuesdays at 11:00am
Join us every Tuesday morning at 11am for coffee and books at our book club. No need to stress about finding the book club book and staying on pace with everyone else. Read what you want at your own speed and share with us when you are ready. Everyone who comes talks about the books they are reading or have recently finished. No pressure to share if you just want to join us to get ideas about new books to read.
