Art & ArchitectureProgram Description
Event Details
The Center for Contemporary Printmaking will guide participants in creating unique artworks using Gelli Plate Printmaking. Gelli Plates are flexible slabs that are durable and reusable. They allow for the easy and quick creation of monotype prints without a press. Using stencils, texture tools, line drawing, stamps, and flat items such as leaves and lace, anyone can create unique colorful artwork on paper.
All materials are included. We will be using soy-based Akua Inks which are virtually non-toxic and clean up with soap and water.
This program is made possible by a generous grant from the Horizon Foundation.
Library Parking
The Library leases 76 spaces marked "LIBRARY" in the Center School Lot to offer free parking for our patrons. All other numbered spaces in the lot remain municipal and are subject to metering rates. View more parking info here.
Accessibility and Accommodations
We strive to facilitate access to information and Library services for all patrons. If you have questions about accessibility or a request for accommodation, please phone 203-594-5002, email the librarian in charge of this program (see contact info above), or email child@newcanaanlibrary.org with as much lead time as possible.
Youth Participation Guidelines
If your child is under 12 years old, an adult caregiver must remain in the Children’s Room for the duration of the program. If your child finishes a program early, or if a child becomes ill, distressed, or behaves in a manner that interferes with other participants’ enjoyment of the program, they may be released into the Children’s Room before the program’s end time. Please ensure that your child knows exactly where to find you at all times.
