Join artist Lidia Mikhaylova and learn to paint on silk!  The subject of this class will be a winter scene.

Imagine the brightness of colors and the freedom of movement of the brush. Imagine the freedom of creativity pouring out of you as we paint winter with one stroke!

Not everyone loves winter? It's cold, the daylight is short, we must wear layers of clothing. And it’s difficult to get the positive emotions of light and colors, during the dark, winter solstice.

But, if you look closely there are many hidden gifts in winter! You can go bask in the snow by skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and sledding, even wallow in the billowing snowdrifts. Winter smells like tangerines, mulled wine and Christmas! It is a time reflect and dream about all that is possible.

I invite you to journey with me on a bright, fluffy winter fairy tale as we paint our dreams on silk.

This class is open to ages 18 and up. Registration is required.

Please note two policies now in effect for our creative classes:

• Registration is open to Bolton residents only during the first week. After that, registration is open to everyone regardless of residence. If you are a nonresident, please go ahead and sign up; your registration will be reviewed after one week, and you'll be added to the class provided there are seats left. Nonresident registrations will be taken in the order received.
• For classes with paid, expert instructors, anyone who signs up then neither shows up nor notifies the library of cancellation at least 48 hours in advance will be blocked from signing up for future classes for a period of no less than 6 months. We've had to take this step in order to curtail the amount of "ghosting" that has occurred with our classes, and to make spaces available to those who are waitlisted.
