Creativity Lab: Kaleidoscopes
After admiring the kaleidoscopes on display and a short presentation, students in grades two and up will have a chance to use some scopes from Judy Mysliborski’s collection. On Sunday, Nov. 27, at 2 p.m., you will learn the science of light and mirrors while assembling your own customized kaleidoscope.
This will be a fun family project for younger students, while older students can complete it on their own.
Beading workshop
Adults and teens ages 14 and up can learn easy beading techniques for making simple necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. The library provides tools and offers a variety of beads to choose from, or you are welcome to bring your own supplies and projects along.
Check out our beading books and magazines for inspiration. You may arrive at any time between 5:30 and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 30, whatever fits your schedule. There will be a small materials fee, based on your chosen project.
Gallery and display case
Our Artist of the Month is local favorite Susie Flansburg. Susie credits her artistic accomplishments to her mentors and friends, Louis Pelky and Ruth Cawley. She also enjoys painting regularly with a group of friends who meet at the Guilderland town hall. If you are in the market for a piece of artwork, then do yourself a favor and stop by to check out Oil Paintings By Susie.
Our display case this month is kaleidoscopes, shared by Judy Mysliborski. Everyone enjoys using a kaleidoscope, and Judy has an amazing collection. If you haven’t had a chance to stop in and browse the display case, you do not want to miss this! Who knew there were so many varieties of kaleidoscopes?
We have a kaleidoscope creativity lab for grades two and up on Nov. 27, at which Judy will be giving a short presentation. See description above for more information.
