REGION – Art teacher Casey Junker Bailey invites children of all ages to make their own presents for holiday giving at art workshops coming up in December. On Saturday, Dec. 13, at the Wilder Library in Weston, children will make old-fashioned apple-head St. Nicholas dolls, with red robes and bags full of surprises. The workshop, which starts at 10:30 a.m., will be held at the library’s temporary location at the Old Parish Church, 100 Main Street in Weston. Be aware that space is limited.
On the following Saturday, Dec. 20, there will be a family celebration of solstice and the joy of giving at the South Londonderry Free Library. The fun begins at 10:30 a.m. Families can visit maker stations throughout the library to make snowy villages, wooden elves, thumbprint reindeer, moonlight-in-Vermont cards, tin ornaments, pinecone Christmas trees, and more.
There will be refreshments as well as music, and each family will receive a copy of the delightful book “Snow.”
As always, these workshops are fun, free of charge, and appropriate for all ages. You may contact the libraries for more information.
