This month: Make more winter-themed cards, with snowflakes and white floral designs. Choice of sentiments lets you use these for holiday or all-occasion cards.
Registration begins December 1 and runs through December 31. We will call you on or after December 7 to arrange your pick up time.
Master crafter Alyson Esposito’s greeting card classes are back with a safe and socially distant twist. Register to pick up a kit to assemble two fun greeting cards, choice of sentiments included, in your own home. You will need your own adhesive, scissors, and colored pencils or thin markers. The kit will contain all the parts to the cards, a picture of the finished cards, written directions, and a link to a YouTube video where you can watch instructor Alyson Esposito assemble her cards.
Free, but registration is required as the craft is limited to 25 people.
You will need access to a computer, tablet, or smartphone in order to watch the video. Supplies are limited. There is one kit per person, and the craft is designed for our adult patrons. Thank you. If you would like additional kits, please contact Alyson—she is often able to sell them to her students at a reasonable price.
Due to social distancing requirements, please provide your phone number when registering so someone from Maxwell Library can call you to arrange a pickup time for you to fetch your kit. Once you have your kit, you can complete the craft at your own convenience in the comfort of your own home.
UPDATE: The program is now closed as all slots have been signed up for.
