Does your child love art? Join us this summer for a fun and creative series of art and design classes taught by Alexis Starke with our theme for summer- America 250. In this series, projects will explore a fresh take on design and crafts from America at the time of the Revolution.

The series will be both imaginative and academically rich. Classes are free and all materials are provided. Community service hours will be available for anyone interested.

Please email astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions.

Our next Create and Sip with Alexis Starke is coming up with this month’s theme: America 250! Our project will be inspired by beautiful geometric quilts from the time of the Revolution, but with a fresh twist! We will also create a group project to decorate the Hudson River Room in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.

All of our Create and Sip projects are designed to be fun and inspiring for all levels of experience from beginners on up.

Each participant will receive chocolates and a mini bottle of wine.  Feel free to bring other refreshments if you wish. All art materials are included. Please email Alexis Starke at astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions.
