Art workshop set for Aug. 27 at McNabb Library Branch

Putnam County Library

The McNabb Branch of the Putnam County Public Library District will host “Picture This: Art Rocks,” a free hands-on art workshop for all ages, at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Participants will have the opportunity to get creative by painting their very own one-of-a-kind rock, choosing from geometric patterns, kind words, favorite characters, or colorful scenes.

Once the paint is dry, each rock will be transformed into a unique photo holder using wire and beads.

For more information, please call the Library at 815-339-2038. The McNabb Branch is located at 322 W. Main Street, McNabb.
