Ignite Studio will host its second annual Make-Off. Selected artists will compete to make an original piece of art related to Ignite equipment, kits or other in-house materials to highlight the creative possibilities involved in making. Artists will be given 6 hours to complete a work of art which will culminate in the awarding of monetary prizes. Patrons will be able to watch the process of creating art, take part in hands-on activities and participate in a patron art challenge. This year’s theme is abstract art: using the building blocks of art. Make your way to Ignite for an exciting and fun day!
Art activities for the public include:
Free art kits for the first 50 patrons!
Gelli plate printing: Use Gelli plates, stencils, and shape stamps to make monotype prints. Gelli plate printing is fun and easy for all ages! Follow step-by-step directions to make multi-layered abstract art. Ages 6+.

Follow along to a Creativebug video: Creativebug, an eResource database that all HEPL cardholders have free access to, is full of fun and informative arts classes.
