Explore your creative side with this series of classes designed to help you express yourself and grow creatively. Experienced instructor and accomplished artist Jenn Wiggs will instruct you on core principles of mixed media layering. Beginners are welcome and encouraged!

In this eight-week course, students aged 55 and older will learn the unique opportunities that making art by layering with mixed media offers. We will use inks, acrylics, collage and discarded books to explore the layering properties of these materials. Each week images and exercises will be suggested as starting points. 

Participants should bring scissors. All other materials will be provided, including paper, paint and inks. If you have artist brushes, bring those along! And, optionally, if you have paint at home you’d like to use up, bring that too. An exhibit of student work is planned for Saturday, May 23, 1-2 p.m. at the Columbia Public Library.

Adults, age 55 and older. Please register starting February 24. Classes take place each Tuesday, March 17-May 5; please plan to attend the whole series.


This program is supported by the Daniel Boone Regional Library Foundation.
