Grab & Go Craft Kit: Intro to Watercolor

Channel your inner artist with the February Grab & Go Craft Kit from Winfield Public Library.  In this month’s kit, you’ll find watercolor paints, brushes, paper, and ideas to explore a variety of styles and textures through this versatile medium.

“Winfield Arts and Humanities was an enormous help in putting together this craft project,” said Ruth Bumgarner, WPL’s Adult Services Librarian.  “They provided some wonderful, basic tips and ideas for people experimenting with water colors for the first time.” 

Bumgarner says the inspiration to do a watercolor craft came from another collaboration with WA&H.  During the month of February, a portion of Arts & Humanities’ watercolor collection will be on display at both Baden Square and the Winfield Public Library.  “With watercolor artwork on display, I really wanted to give our patrons an opportunity to try it themselves – either in the form of a valentine or something unique to them.”

The watercolor Grab & Go Craft Kits are available for adult patrons on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last, beginning Monday, February 7. 

Grab & Go Craft Kits are made possible thanks to the Friends of the Winfield Public Library.  This group supports library activities such as the Summer Reading Program and the Discovery exhibits.  For those who believe in literacy programs, love the library and wish to support strong community, membership in The Friends is a great way to show support.
