Art Class: Colored Pencils10:00 am - 2:00 pm - May 21, 2019
This class will serve as an introduction to colored pencils and watercolor colored pencils using new pastel mat pastel paper. We will use watercolor colored pencil to apply an underpainting of color, then use a water pen brush to go over underpainting to dissolve the wax in the watercolor pencil layer. The drawing is allowed to dry overnight. The drawing is finished with layers of colored pencil applied over the underpainting.
In the second half of the class we will use watercolor colored pencils and watercolor graphite pencils to make prints with a small press.
This class will run from May – June. Advanced registration is required and there is a limited number of slots for the class, so please call the library - or visit the front desk in person - to sign up. The fee for the class is $20 and click here to see the supply list: Colored Pencil Class Supply List

The Past and Future of Wolves in Colorado5:30 pm - 7:00 pm - May 23, 2019
The University Press of Colorado recently published The Last Stand of the Pack, Critical Edition, which is a reprint of a 1929 book that describes the trapping, shooting, and killing of the last wolves in Colorado.
Dr. Andrew Gulliford, professor of history and environmental studies at Fort Lewis College, was a co-editor on the book and will discuss the history of wolves in Colorado, and in particular why they were killed in the 1920s.
*This talk is meant to be both objective and informative for people wanting to learn more about wolves in Colorado, rather than serve as a debate about the possibility of their re-introduction.
