The library will host a series of free acrylic painting classes for adults, sponsored by the Swanton Chamber of Commerce through a grant from the Ohio Arts Council. These beginning-level classes, one for adults and one for children and teens, are taught by award-winning artist Nora Sallows. Both classes are limited to 20 participants.
The adult series of classes is open to all interested participants and will take students step-by-step through the process of creating a painting. Students will learn to mix and blend colors and create landscape paintings. Classes will meet from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm on Monday evenings, May 9, 16, 23, and June 6. Registration is required; call Neil at the Chamber (419-826-1941) to register by May 2.
The Chamber will also host a free four-week draw-ing course for children and teens in grades 5 through 8, exploring lines, perspective, and shapes. Classes will meet from 10:00 am to 11:30 am on Saturdays, May 7, 14, 21, and 28. Please call Neil at the Chamber at 419-826-1941 to register by May 2.
