Seniors Community Grant: Coloured Pencil Workshop

WBPL’s Artsy Adults Project funded by the Ontario Government’s Seniors Community Grant is excited to offer the opportunity to dive deeper into the world of coloured pencils with Laura Steels Hitchcock, an award-winning coloured pencil wildlife portrait artist.

This engaging experience will take you on a journey through various techniques, including layering, blending, and creating intricate textures. You’ll discover how to mix colours effectively and use various pencil types to achieve stunning effects. All materials will be provided—just bring your creativity and a willingness to explore!

WBPL’s Artsy Adults Project is targeted to participants ages 55+ who have a WBPL library card. The workshops are free to attend and all materials will be provided.

Important Registration Details
Because WBPL expects high interest in Artsy Adults programs, the library is implementing a lottery system to help ensure that as many older adults as possible are able to participate in the 10 creative programs planned for 2024/2025.

To participate, please sign up on the waiting list for the programs that interest you by the specified cut-off date. Library staff will randomly select participants from the waiting list approximately 15 days prior to a program. These successful candidates will receive notification by email (or phone call if email is not available) and will be required to respond to confirm their seats.
