Join us at the Parker Williams Library for our diamond painting club meeting! Relax, chat and enjoy this beginner friendly adult club. Diamond painting is a craft activity that involves applying tiny resin rhinestones to a pre-printed canvas to create a mosaic-style art piece. It's also known as crystal art or 5D painting.
This craft is a series since diamond painting may take some time. Patrons must finish a painting before they will be allowed to start a new one.

Un hermoso ejemplo de la heterogeneidad de nuestra identidad se encuentra en el Istmo de Tehuantepec. Ahí, entre los valles de Oaxaca, la Sierra y las costas istmeñas, quedan sólidos vestigios del pueblo zapoteco. La técnica artesanal pasa de generación en generación, de familia en familia, enlazando la habilidad y la experiencia con el conocimiento ancestral de miles de mujeres zapotecas. Ninguna flor es igual a la otra, todas son únicas e irrepetibles como cada ser humano, así definen su arte las mujeres del Istmo de Tehuantepec.
