Diamond Painting
- Tabatha Tuskey
- 15 Hours
- Aug. 29-Dec. 5
- Thursday 12-1 PM
Diamond painting (also known as crystal art) is the process of applying tiny resin
rhinestones (known as "diamonds") to a pre-printed design – usually on an adhesive
board – to create sparkling, vibrant and uplifting pieces of mosaic-style art. Not
only does it meet the need to escape from everyday life, but it allows you to feel
like an artist–even if there's not a creative bone in your body. Overall, they're
fun, engaging and also beautiful enough to hang on the wall.
But diamond painting also offers a number of other amazing advantages–from reducing
stress and anxiety to being a common interest that allows you to meet new people and
make new friends. More than a simple hobby, diamond painting provides a variety of
mental and physical health benefits too. Stimulates creativity, boost artistic confidence,
fine-tunes motor skills, and unplugs you from technology.
Some supplies available. Meeting in the library. 15 Sessions/1 hour per session
