Step 2 – Weekly sign up
The WeChat group admin will post the weekly sign-up chain every Wednesday in the group, sign-up via the group chat if your child plans to attend that week’s session.
Spots are limited and will be confirmed through the weekly sign-up chain
Step 3 – Prepare for the class
Help your child choose a picture they would like to draw for the week. If possible, print the reference picture in advance (the library can only print black-and-white images).
Prepare the required drawing materials before each session and bring them to class.
Important Reminder
When sessions are held in the public library, we must respect the shared space.
Please make sure your child understands:
No loud talking
No running in the library
Children who disturb others may be asked to leave by library staff, which could affect our ability to use the library for future sessions.
