Acrylic Paint Pouring for Teens

Pendleton Community Public Library 595 E. Water St., Pendleton, Indiana, United States

Amanda Rhodes - from Currently Creating Art Studios - will be the instructor for this fun and messy paint class.

*We will be using acrylic paint which does not wash out of clothes. Ponchos will be provided but please be aware of this with clothing choice.

As a special treat, Love On A Leash will be here from 10:15 am - 11:00 am in either the Sycamore Room or the lobby outside Sycamore.

Love On A Leash is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing an avenue for volunteer teams to engage in meaningful and productive pet therapy. A therapy pet's primary function is to brighten someone's day. Therapy pets and their handlers visit wherever they are invited - including nursing homes, hospitals, and schools to provide comfort and happiness.

*We will be doing a small group format with the therapy pets and their handlers. Snicker and Jinger (dogs) and their handlers Tim and Melanie (humans) will be here to do a Q&A about LOAL, what they do and the differences of service and emotional support animals. And they'll obviously be providing lots of time to pet and hang out with the dogs! You can drop by at anytime between 10:15 am and 11:00 am to meet the dogs and their handlers. If the dogs are already entertaining several other patrons, please have a seat somewhere in the library or browse the stacks until another patron leaves.
