Kat Lynas, Reader-in-Residence for Redcar & Cleveland Libraries introduces The Sunday Art Club!
For the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some creative prompts from The Sunday Art Club. The club invites you to join in with activities that take 5, 20 or 60 minutes to complete. Perfect for when you have a little or a lot of time to get creative.
This week we are celebrating librarians. As well are being found in our local libraries, they can be found in many books and films. Two of my favourites are The (Orangutang) Librarian in Terry Prachett’s Discworld series and Evelyn O’Connell from The Mummy.
Gather your Materials
- Paper
- Pencils/coloured pencils/pens or paint
