Register to pick up a kit of supplies and complete the project on your own time.

Learn the art of kinusaiga, a popular artform in Japan that has been attributed to artist Maeno Takashi in the 1980s.

The photo represents a sample (thank you to Elaine Tomlinson on Pinterest). The final artwork pattern is subject to change.

Supplies will be available for one week starting the day of the program. Kits will come with supplies for the project, but registrants must supply things like glue and scissors. If these are needed, please ask a librarian when you pick up your kit at the Adult and Teen Services Desk!

This program takes place monthly. Pickup will begin the third Monday of the month, and we will hold kits for one week. Registration is required.

Questions? Please contact the Adult and Teen Services Desk at (630) 960-1200.

Submit a request for a program accommodation. Learn more about accommodations and accessibility at DGPL.
