Jefferson County Library to hold family art classes starting Saturday

PORT HADLOCK — The Jefferson County Library will offer family art classes for all ages each month through spring, with the first session set for Saturday.

The free classes will be held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month, December through March 5, at the library building at 620 Cedar Ave.

The class is open to children and adults to explore a variety of art mediums.

Each class will begin with a demonstration and instructions, with conversation about the art style before the students are turned loose to create their own art project.

Space is limited. Preregistration at the library is recommended.

This Saturday’s class will be taught by Sidonie Wilson and Build a Box, with a project to create keepsake gift boxes for holiday or other gift-giving.

On Jan. 2, the Designs in Time: Medieval Parade class will explore medieval designs, particularly shifting, eye-catching patterns, shapes and decorations.

Students will create their own New Year’s medieval emblems and designs using stippling and stencil making.

For more information on the library or classes, phone 360-385-6544 or visit www.jclibrary.info.
