Do you ever feel that life has just gone downhill since kindergarten? Afternoon naps, recess, snack time… they’ve all been snatched away by the wicked clutches of the so-called “real world.” But now you can reacquaint yourself with your old friend Elmer during weekly arts & crafts sessions, a.k.a. the Sunday Art Workshop Series. Conceptualized and led by Talya Lerman, a Dreyfoos High grad who comes from a long line of visual artists (Mama Lerman and Grandma Lerman had a way with a paintbrush, too), the series offers the chance to make fine art – and still get paint on your “play clothes.” Previous classes have included bookmaking, silkscreen, and something called “dream boxes,” and this week Lerman leads two sessions: mini calendars (you’ll make small collages for each month of the year using tiny items like matchbooks), and wearable art (pins, pendants, and bracelets). And look! Is snack time making a comeback, too? Talya serves free iced tea and cookies! The mini calendar workshop lasts from noon to 2 p.m. at Lerman’s studio (1629 N. “J” Terrace, Lake Worth), and wearable art lasts from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Soma Center (609 Lake Ave., Lake Worth). Eclectic collage is an option at every class as well. $10 covers instruction and materials. Visit www.talyacreates.com.
