Wayfaring Painter: May’s #CreateInPlace

352Creates teamed up with Wayfaring Painter to Create in Place on the second Friday of May at the downtown branch of Alachua County Library District!

The event was free and open to the public. Participants learned basic watercolor techniques to create a floral wreath design and had the opportunity to drop-in and receive casual instruction between 12pm-2pm.

Wayfaring Painter provides art classes and workshops in Alachua County and “No formulas, erasers or experience required”! Kristyn Bat Lopez, Director and Teaching Artist at Wayfaring Painter, says that “Through offering a wide variety of high-quality, accessible, visual art classes and workshops we hope to strengthen and promote independent thought and action, and demonstrate the value of art in community education”.
