Lunch at the Library Series
Lunch at the Library Series was a five session local artist workshop project. The sessions were held at the Fairmont Library on Thursdays at 12:00 noon. Each local artist provided their audience with hands-on instructions, tips, and ideas for working with their medium. The workshops ran from January through March 2010. The Series ran as initially planned except for the first session had to be rescheduled due to the weather.
