Painting with Water! with Ellen Ferrari

Be amazed by Magic Paint Day by Shaheen Bilgrami during a group reading. Then, amaze yourself by painting ON WATER!

Learn the art of marbling using specially prepared water, paint and paper. Create lots of colorful patterns using everyday tools like forks, straws and toothpicks. Begin projects here to finish when your marbled paper dries. Each workshop starts off with a story and game to warm up your creativity before diving into book arts. Join Ellen Ferrari for Saturday mornings of family book arts fun.

Each workshop starts off with a story and game to warm up your creativity and then dives into book arts projects.
