With Visiting Artist Erin Lorenzen
Join FPL Visiting Artist Erin Lorenzen for a fun-filled, fiber-art-based workshop. Together, we will use upcycled materials and basic stitch techniques to create a collaborative craft that will be installed at the library in April 2022! Participants will also receive art kits to create a piece of their own.
