7.+Design+&+Unwind+(Rehoboth+Beach+Library)

As the Youth Services Librarian at Rehoboth Beach Library, I noticed that parents tended to enjoy helping their children with the crafts during Preschool Story Time or Monday Funday. Sometimes the adults would even ask if they could make their own! I collaborated with one of my colleagues to implement Design & Unwind, a monthly craft program for adults. We especially wanted to create a safe environment for reluctant artists who may be intimidated to take a "real" art class, and we always carefully planned projects that allowed participants to be successful even with no previous experience.

Below are pictures from a sampling of our projects.
