Wendy Bale Leading 2-Hour Workshop At Lakewood

Memoiral Library

LAKEWOOD — Paper artist Wendy Bale will lead a two-hour workshop at the Lakewood Memorial Library on Saturday, Dec. 17, showing how to make paper leaves out of vellum and mulberry papers. The project requires no special drawing skills and is suitable for all skill levels. The group will use an embossing tool to sculpt the paper into a life-like leaf that, unlike a dried real leaf, will last for years. All materials will be provided. This class will include a step-by-step guide and templates including a variety of leaves. In this holiday edition of Bale’s workshop she also includes holly leaves. The free workshop was made possible through grant funding from the Cullen Foundation for the Arts. Registration Register by emailing programs@lakewoodlibrary.org or calling 716-763-6234. Space is limited. The Lakewood Library is located at 12 W. Summit ST., Lakewood.
