Crosby Edith Fae Cook Cole Branch Library
Embark on a crafting adventure this summer at the Crosby Branch Library. Teens ages 13 and up are invited to design, craft, and hand-sew their own unique felt cryptid plushie!
Please note that participants should be comfortable using basic crafting tools such as scissors, sewing needles, and other sewing supplies independently. Instruction will be provided, but attendees are expected to complete their own projects during the class, and parents or guardians will not be able to attend or complete the craft on their behalf.
Amber is ancient tree resin that is petrified. It is valuable both as jewelry and artifacts for paleontologists when plants or insects are preserved in it. Join us in making amber look-a-likes using glass stones to preserve your own works of art. Add a magnet and you will have a treasure for your locker or refrigerator!
Join us on the first Friday of every month for the teen writing club. Bring your writing to share and get feedback from other teens. Any kind of writing is welcome, from short stories to fanfiction, poetry to novels!
You’ll get short prompts, quiet time to work, and the option to share—no pressure, no critiques unless you ask. Bring your ideas, your notebook, and get ready to write!
Ages 13+
Create your own mini-underground-magazine in this hands-on zine workshop. Teens ages 13 and up will learn the basics of zine making, including a brief history, collage, drawing, and creative writing. Using paper, magazines, markers, and other craft supplies, participants will design a small self-published booklet that expresses their ideas, stories, art, or interests.
No prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity. All supplies will be provided, and each participant will leave with a finished zine and the skills to continue making their own at home.
