The library is proud to announce Pieces of Our Past: A Heritage Mosaic Workshop Series, a unique, hands-on opportunity for adults to explore their family stories through the timeless art of mosaic. This six-session series will take place on Thursday evenings in October and the first week of November, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM, on the library’s lower level. The series will culminate in a community artist reception on Saturday, November 15 at 11:00 AM.
Led by acclaimed mosaic artist Marilyn Lindstrom, participants will learn essential mosaic techniques while creating their own personalized work incorporating meaningful objects that reflect their heritage. The series is designed to foster both artistic growth and personal storytelling in a supportive, community-focused environment.
Program highlights include:
Guided instruction on mosaic techniques such as tessellation, tile nipping, and grouting
Integration of personal or ancestral items into each participant's artwork
Small group instruction and support throughout the creative process
A culminating community exhibit and reception, where artists will share their finished works and the stories behind them
This program is free of charge for adults, and is made possible with funds from the Delaware County Arts Grants, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered in Delaware County by the Roxbury Arts Group. However, registration is required, and space is limited. Attendees should be committed to attending a majority of sessions, as each session builds upon the last.
To register, call 607-865-5929.
Please note this is a 6 week commitment and we request participants to attend a majority of the sessions, as each workshop builds on the last.
You're welcome to bring a sandwich or drink for dinner each week.
