Handmade Felt Food: Mushrooms

Learn how to hand sew adorable toy fruits and vegetables with this beginner-level sewing craft for adults! This time around we'll be making mushrooms out of felt.

This event involves sharp sewing needles. It's perfect for adults with any level of sewing skills, but young children may struggle with this. AADL staff will be on hand to help beginners, but experts are welcome too!

Transgender Day of Visibility '24 Zine Project

Transgender Day of Visibility is on March 31st, and we are making a zine full of art and writing to celebrate! Come to the library to make art and/or writing to submit for the AADL TDoV '24 Zine. We'll supply the paper and tools, and will have art from previous years' zines projected on a screen in case you need an idea of what to do. You don't have to make art at this event to submit a piece to the zine, but if you don't have the art supplies to make what you want - come to the library!

No art skills, no problem. We'll walk you through how to use analog tools to design a two-color risograph print. Following the event, participants will copies of their design.

Riso Lab: One Page Zines

Learn the basics of how Risograph printing works and how to make a one page mini zine. Zines are self-made little magazines or booklets that can be about absolutely anything! Zines can include writing, comics, collage, art, or anything you can think of. Following the event, we will print your zines on our Risograph duplicator and you will receive copies to share.
