GRANTEE SPOTLIGHT
Claverack Free Library
This project offers classes that allow people to mix mediums and create original pieces of art using a multitude of different disciplines. One of the classes offered was a collage class with a focus on telling a story or preserving a memory. Another class was a Japanese Shibori dyeing class and embroidery class which then can be used together to create beautiful embroidered cloth.
