Creative Studio Workshop

Get creative and craft with your community in the Creative Studio Workshop series!

The Creative Studio Workshop is a self-guided project learning experience, where you can work at your own pace to learn something new. We'll provide the supplies and the instructions, and every Thursday we'll have staff on hand to give you guided assistance. From sewing to 3D design, and from programming to painting, we'll have a project for everyone!

Each project runs from 4 to 7 weeks. Storage space will be provided by the library where necessary.
