They’ve had (and continue to have) a great deal of fun making these artsy paper dolls and sharing them with one another. \nThis month\, these artists invite you to share in the fun of creating paper dolls. All tools and supplies (including some things to add a little bling!) will be provided as well as some basic instruction and expert guidance. For a bit of inspiration\, stop by the Stier Family Gallery after April first to see the exhibit of themed paper dolls that members of the group have made over the past five years. This workshop is primarily for adults\, but older focused and motivated children and teens are welcome to attend as well!  \nParticipants may choose to have works created during this workshop become part of our Community Art Box exhibits in the summer or fall.  \nPlease register by filling out the form below. \nAt the request of the presenters\, please wear a mask at this workshop.

It gives us a unique chance to\, “Dive into the dark\, and swim away from the light.” What is totally familiar to us in our writing is often not as interesting to others as we might think. Readers of creative nonfiction want to go along with writers as they explore\, whether it’s exploring their surroundings\, their memories\, or new ideas. The goal of this four-part workshop will be to generate writing that penetrates the obvious and reveals something to ourselves and our readers. Not necessarily the exposure of secrets\, but the uncovering of feelings\, observations\, and micro-cultures. These are the raw ingredients we’ll each bring\, then we’ll work on the cooking together. Join Thomas Memorial Library and Pushcart-nominated novelist\, essayist\, and educator Kevin St. Jarre for this four-week creative nonfiction writing workshop. All levels of writing experience are welcome. \n**This program will take place in person at the library.** \nPlease register by filling out the form below \nand we’ll send you a reminder on the day of the event! \nLoading… \n\nAbout Kevin St. Jarre\n \n\nKevin St. Jarre has worked in the corporate world\, his teaching and consulting have taken him around the globe\, and he’s a combat veteran.
