MARION – The Elizabeth Taber Library is rounding out the summer with a schedule of events for kids and adults.

Join artist Jeanine Cappuccino for twice monthly adult art workshop classes.

Cappuccino is an art teacher who lives on Cape Cod and works in a variety of mediums from painting to sketching to ceramics. 

The first class is Thursday, Aug. 11, 6-7:30 p.m. and will teach attendees to create a sketch journal.

The elements of creating realistic qualities in sketching will be the focus of the class. 

The second class will be on Aug. 27 from 10-11:30 a.m. and will be about perspective.
