Inky Thursdays: Let’s get creative with CreativeBug!

white gel pen art image2We’re taking our crafts virtual during the renovations and highlighting one of our great online resources, CreativeBug. CreativeBug has lots of craft and art courses that you can explore. You can work at your own pace, do as much or as little as you like and we’ll meet up virtually twice to support and encourage each other in our crafts.

October is also called Inktober, a celebration of pen and ink art. During the month October we can follow along together on the Daily Challenge Course: Inktober Daily Challenge: 31 Days of Drawing and Painting with Ink. This course will have us working with ink, pens and watercolor paper to make illustrations. You don’t need to share your creations or have a great deal of experience working with inks and drawings. We’ll get together virtually twice during October to check in, offer support for each other, talk about challenges with the course and share (if you want to) our creations.

Check ins will take place on Thursday, October 13 at 6:30 PM and Thursday, October 27 at 6:30 PM over zoom. You will need a library card to access CreativeBug and create an account.
