In this inclusive 8-week program for adults aged 55 and up, participants will learn how to use batik resist technique on a tote bag in a fun, creative, and supportive environment.

No prior experience is necessary, and all materials are provided for these eight classes. The program will conclude with participants sharing their completed batik-inspired tote bags with the community in the library's exhibition space. Registration is required.

 

The Ohio Arts Council’s Creative Aging Ohio: Building Bridges to Sustain Communities initiative funds this program through grants from the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies and E.A. Michelson Philanthropy.
