Doodlers Drop-In at the Cedar Rapids Public Library
<h5>Doodlers Drop-In at the Cedar Rapids Public Library</h5><p><span>Teens & tweens, drop in to doodle with us on Thursdays this summer. For a couple of hours each week we’ll get together and draw or sketch. Bring the materials you like to use, and we’ll provide a few other media to try out. If you’re interested in low-commitment art projects that can be as public or anonymous as you wish, even if you don’t consider yourself an artist but you have the creative ‘bug’ to produce something, this is for you. These weekly sessions are just for fun, to inspire you. You can share your work with others or look through your peers’ work when you meet up. You can join in at any time, and attend as many of the drop-ins as you like, and invite your friends to come with you. (But no grownups allowed!) It’s free! </span></p><p><span><strong>This week is at the Cedar Rapids Public Library </strong></span></p><p><span>Thursday, July 27, 1-3pm @CRPL</span></p><p><strong>Hosts for this Event:<span> </span></strong></p><p>The Cedar Rapids Public Library - in the Maker room</p><p>contact Molly Garrett at the library with questions!</p><p><a title="Call via Hangouts" href="javascript%3Avoid(0)" data-ved="0ahUKEwiTlZX7i7nUAhVB6IMKHX3dBFQQkAgIISgAMAU" data-rtid="iXpgJ_oaLtqY" data-pstn-out-call-url="" data-number="+13192617323">(319) 261-7323</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2017-06-12 15:00:00 -0500
