Join us for our 4-week course in Pen & Ink with artist Leanna Yatcilla. The series will be at 6:00 P.M. on Thursdays, May 22 & 29 and June 5 & 12. There will be a $40 materials fee for the whole series that will provide you with your very own Pen & Ink set that will include Ink, Bowl Pointed Dip Pen, Micron Pens Set, Drawing Pencils, Erasers, Drawing Paper Pad, a Synthetic Brush and more. Registration must be made in person at the circulation desk and payment is due at the time of registration. Payment can be made via cash, check to Abington Community Library, or VENMO to @AbingtonCommLib. For adults.

From historical documentations to our favorite children’s book illustrations, the practical nature of pen and ink has led to its well-known and beloved appearance through the centuries. Now too is your chance to experience the many forms of this unique medium. Through this 4-week course, you will have the opportunity to learn dip-pen drawing, ink wash painting, and classic shading approaches. Each session will introduce a new technique with the ability to practice outside of class using materials, and in the end you will walk away with a sketchbook and a fine art piece of your own!
