This spring is your chance to discover your inner artist or crafter. The Scott County Library’s annual art series, Hands-On!, is designed to teach you the basics of everything from watercolor painting to weaving to collage! Classes are taught by art instructors, who are not only knowledgeable, but also patient and willing to work with their students. The best part is we’re hoping to schedule a class at the Sakpi ti Lounge. So come January, keep an eye out for the Hands On! class brochure at the senior center or at your local Scott County Library. Classes will begin in late February, and all classes require advance registration at www.scottlib.org/events or by calling or visiting your Scott County library.
