Small Art Workshop

I'm doing a free workshop for the Putnam Public Library in Putnam, CT on Jan 20. Two workshops really, one in the morning for kids from 11-1, then another for adults from 2-5.
While not my first teaching experience by any stretch, I'm a little anxious about this gig because it's different from the other classes I've taught--most of which involved baking, stewing, roasting, boiling or any number of other cooking techniques. I did teach several weekend workshops in ceramics for kids at QVCC a few years ago, and I really have no doubt that this will go well, because, most of all, they want to be there!
It all started with my display of Small ART at the Library. I put into a nice glass case a number of Artist Trading Cards, Postcard sized digital photos, collages and altered book tip-ins. It was a really nice display with sheets of descriptive material positioned here and there, pleasant and easy on the eye, if I do say so myself--funny that-I went back to the Library a month later to retrieve my art, and was surprised myself by my first sight of the case after all that time. It looked Great! I was a little embarasses by my own reaction, but then I just giggled and enjoyed it!

Now there's this ad in the local classified paper--my name there with the title "Artist"
Way cool.
I'm bringing a box full of materials: cardstock, magazines to clip objects from, some stickers, fancy yarns and bits of fabric, glue and some paint and crayons, colored pencils, scissors and tape. I'll cut out a bunch of ATC sized pieces from some of my painted paper stock and plain cardstock, and some postcard sized pieces from plain cardstock. I'll bring the samples that were in the display, plus some printouts of the photos of all my recent stuff done for swaps and trades online. I've been going a little crazy with Swap-bot lately!

So, we will see ow it goes! If nothing else, it should be fun.
