Coloring is more than being creative, it’s a very relaxing activity that has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety.
Each week we’ll be coloring a new mandala design, while also enjoying a good round of conversation. You can use the mandala design we’ve selected or download free designs of your choice from the link below.
You don’t have to have a degree in art to participate…just some paper and color pencils.
Please join us. Relax and connect with like-minded people, and add a burst of color to your day!
All supplies will be provided.

In honor of the Pawling Library’s centennial celebration, this Poetry Workshop will examine the use of the short poetic form from the 1920’s to our present day. We will define several of the shorter forms, including haiku, haibun, tanka, acrostic, cinquain and villanelle. During the writing segment, we will choose one, and create a poem. Assignments may be completed at home and brought to our next workshop.
About our presenter: Marian Grudko is the author of Lucinda Snowdrop and co-author of Claudine: A Fairy Tale for Exceptional Grownups, with T.A. Young. She is also a composer and storyteller, and her work can be seen on her new and evolving YouTube channel.
