Every Wednesday from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. at the Houston Public Library a group of painters gather to create and enjoy each others company. A small fee is charged for the use of the room. The fee varies depending on how many people attend each week but is usually $3/person. You don’t have to be a painter, you could bring rug hooking or any type of crafting. The group offers a place to be able to create something outside your home. Linda, Regina and Marie spent Jan. 31 working on painting with watercolour, oil and acrylic paints.
