Diamond Painting
- Tabatha Tuskey
- 14 Hours
- August 27 - December 3
- Thursday 12 - 1 PM
Diamond painting (also known as crystal art) is the process of applying tiny resin
rhinestones (known as "diamonds") to a pre-printed design – usually on an adhesive
board – to create sparkling, vibrant and uplifting pieces of mosaic-style art. Not
only does it meet the need to escape from everyday life, but it allows you to feel
like an artist–even if there's not a creative bone in your body. Overall, they're
fun, engaging and also beautiful enough to hang on the wall. But diamond painting
also offers a number of other amazing advantages–from reducing stress and anxiety
to being a common interest that allows you to meet new people and make new friends.
More than a simple hobby, diamond painting provides a variety of mental and physical
health benefits too. Stimulates creativity, boost artistic confidence, fine-tunes
motor skills, and unplugs you from technology. Supplies will be provided. Meet in
the open area in Computer Resources. 14 Sessions/1 hour per session (No class on 11/26
due to Thanksgiving Holiday)
