Oil Pastel Workshop at Lancaster-Kiest Library: Dec. 2

This two-hour workshop puts experimentation ahead of a specified finished piece: adults are invited to work with oil pastels and explore color and texture.

A broad brief, with room to experiment

The event description gives color and texture as the session’s focus but does not name an artwork to make, a sequence of exercises or a particular technique to learn. That makes it a better fit for someone interested in trying the medium than for a visitor counting on a specific project or lesson plan.

The listing shows three dates

The event page associates the Dec. 2 session with two earlier 2026 occurrences: Oct. 7 and Nov. 4. Dec. 2 is the date to plan around; those three listed dates do not establish a schedule beyond them.
