Adult Craft Club at the Baker Free Library is held every third Tuesday of the month! You must be registered in advance to attend, as space and supplies are limited! In May, Hopkinton artist Julie Daniels will present her watercolor workshop: Abstract Landscape ACEO’s: “Art Cards, Editions, and Originals”! What is an ACEO, you ask? Think of them as art trading cards, similar to baseball or Pokémon cards. A search on eBay yields over 120,000 results, with most priced under $10. They are an accessible and affordable way not only to make art, but also to collect it. This workshop will introduce the concept of an ACEO and then we will get to work creating our very own art trading cards. Those interested can swap or you just might fall in love with your own tiny painting and want to keep it for yourself! We will work primarily with watercolor but other materials will be provided, such as oil pastels, soft pastels and markers. All materials will be provided and no prior art experience is required.
