Presenter Nancy Roman returns to lead this 2 hour Pen & Ink with Watercolor workshop. Learn the “Line & Wash” technique, popular in book illustrations, which combines a pen and ink drawing with a watercolor overlay. Participants will practice the technique first, then complete a window box portrait working from photo inspirations. This FREE program is open to ages 12 and up. No experience is needed and all supplies will be provided. Even if you’ve never considered yourself “artistic” you will be amazed at the beautiful results Nancy can help you produce. Space is limited. Please register.

Join us for a screening of Children of Men The screenplay, based on P. D. James’ 1992 novel The Children of Men, was credited to five writers, with Clive Owen making uncredited contributions. The film is set in 2027, when two decades of human infertility have left human civilization on the brink of collapse. Asylum seekers seek sanctuary in the United Kingdom, where they are subjected to detention, deportation and execution by the government. Owen plays civil servant Theo Faron, who tries to help refugee Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey) escape the chaos. Children of Men also stars Julianne Moore, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Pam Ferris, Charlie Hunnam, and Michael Caine.
