STEAMazing: FIGGE PRESENTS

The Figge is back with us to present Foil Etching.  Scratching, scratching, scratching, it’s all part of the design process.  Kids will be given various tools to etch their own designs into tooling foil that they can color and mount on a piece of paper to take home with them.  Every etched design has its own unique flavor, but watch out! Don’t press too hard, or the foil might rip.  Learn how to place your design into the foil, the correct way to use the tools, and how to add color and line weight to create depth to your image.

Monthly after-school project in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art or Math (STEAM) for grades K-6. See library website for each month’s STEAM-AZING activity. Registration is required. More info at rockislandlibrary.org.
