January challenge

The January Challenge is an invitation to ignite your unique creativity during the coldest, darkest days of the year. It's a fun, free and accessible experience designed to set your mind on an adventure. Throughout January: Join the Haslemere Library Staff and volunteers as we undertake creative prompts set by 64million Artists. We will be showcasing the prompts and our own artwork around the library and on our social media channels. We invite you to join in the fun at our Creation Stations located throughout the library. Please remember to hand in your artwork at the help desk so that we can display them and encourage others to have a go too!
