Tuesday Night Art Club with Lellobird

About this event

Back Reading Room ADA Accessible. The Tuesday Night Art Club is the easiest club to join: Just show up and make art. All materials provided, no experience necessary, and we have an emphasis on process over product, so whether or not you think of yourself as An Artist, you’ll enjoy playing around with materials and methods. Classes are designed for adults but responsible tweens and teens are welcome. We meet the third Tuesday of every month unless otherwise noted. 2026 Schedule: January 20, 2026: Greeting Card Workshop Using simple collage and printing techniques and maybe some playful watercolors, create beautiful greeting cards for any occasion which you can use throughout the year.

May 19, 2026: Happy Accidents: Monoprinting We’ll experiment with blobs of paint and ink on folded paper (sort of like a Rorschach test) and play with overlapping colors and textures to create surprising shapes like butterflies (if you plan your design) and abstract designs (if you don’t). You never know quite how it’s going to turn out, and that’s part of the fun!
