The Elverhoj Museum of History and Art will host a three-day workshop with local artist Nancy Yaki from Feb. 28 through March 2.
Yaki’s acrylic painting workshop will center on a new topic each day to help aspiring artists or hobbyists learn how to better utilize the medium. Day one features exploring acrylic paint and its range, day two focuses on color relationships, and day three explores how to layer and use acrylic media.
The classes start at 10 a.m. in the Bethania Lutheran Church Parish Hall located at 603 Atterdag Road, Solvang. The fee for the workshop is $300 for museum members and $325 for non-members. Light snacks and water are included; a closing party is also featured on the last day. To make reservations (space is limited) call (805) 686-1211 or email info@elverhoj.org. A materials list will be provided.
Santa Maria Library introduces book delivery
The Santa Maria Public Library is now offering service from Zip Books, which enables readers to order books and audiobooks not currently owned by any of the library’s branches and have them sent to their home at no cost.
Items from Zip Books typically take three to five days to arrive and can be returned to the library when finished, either to the information or youth services desks. Library branches in Orcutt, Guadalupe, Los Alamos, or Cuyama will also accept Zip Books returns. Zip Books is run by NorthNet Library System and funded through the California Library Services Act (CLSA).
