Our next Create and Sip with Alexis Starke is coming up on Thursday, September 24th. We will be creating a landscape with black and colored India Inks inspired by Chinese artist Zhang Daqian (1899 – 1983). Zhang Daqian (or Chang Dai-chien) was one of the best-known and most prodigious Chinese artists of the twentieth century. He began working in a more traditional Chinese landscape style but later incorporated elements of modern impressionism and expressionism.

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.

Does your child love art? Join us this fall for a fun and creative series of art and design classes taught by Alexis Starke.

We will explore a range of materials and techniques in both 2D and 3D art and design, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources from contemporary artists, art history, and the natural world to name a few. 

The series will be both imaginative and academically rich. Classes are free and all materials are provided. 

Please email astarke@piermontlibrary.org with any questions.

New members are always welcome to join our Adult Book Club! We are currently meeting on the third Wednesday of the month at 3:00 pm at the library.

For September 16th, we are reading Daughters of the Sun and Moon by Lisa See.

Beloved New York Times bestselling author Lisa See draws on the vibrancy and turmoil of post-Civil War Los Angeles to tell the story of three Chinese women who managed to survive and, eventually, thrive, despite all odds.

Our next Create and Sip with Alexis Starke is coming up with Summer’s theme: America 250! Our project will be inspired by tussie mussies 🙂 or small bouquets created during Colonial times.  We will work with gelli plates (a very fun and versatile material) to make monoprints of these florals.
