      Description: The Friends of the Edison Public Library will present artist Nancy Leary’s interactive silk scarf workshop at Main Library (at 340 Plainfield Avenue) on Saturday, February 25, 2012, at 12:00 p.m. Attendees will have the opportunity to make a unique 60” scarf to match a favorite outfit or for a special gift using the beautiful ancient art form of “Ebru”, better known as marbleizing. In the workshop participants will learn both the technique and history of this ancient art.

      Nancy Leary, a graduate of Kean University in Union, has taken workshops at the John C. Campbell Folk School, Newark Museum and Kennedy Center.

A few years ago Nancy presented her popular program, “Painted Canvas Floor Cloths” at the Edison Main Library.
