Know-How: Painting a Room (Register)

Sure, you learned about fluid dynamics, ancient religions, statistics, personality disorders and the history of Russia in college. But where are you supposed to learn how to maintain your car or paint a room or fix your clothes? Join ArtHaus and Decorah Public Library for KNOW-HOW, a new monthly series of hands-on workshops to learn all the stuff you’re “supposed to know by now.”

We’ll gather on the second Saturday of the month at 2 PM to learn a new skill in a welcoming environment designed to build a community of learners. In September, we’ll meet at ArtHaus. 

Painting a room is one of the easiest (and most affordable) ways to change your space. On September 12, Zach Row-Heyveld will teach you how to do it. You’ll learn what supplies and equipment you need, how to prep your room, and how to paint it from ceiling to trim. You’ll also learn some tips and tricks for dealing with spilled paint, tricky corners, and clean up. 

Zach is the Assistant Director at Decorah Public Library, but before he landed his dream job (and before he spent a decade building museum exhibits), he spent 4 years painting houses. He can’t wait to pass on some KNOW-HOW. 

No more dealing with YouTube ads as you’re trying to figure out what kind of insurance you need or sheepishly asking your dad how to change a tire at 3 AM. In the middle of nowhere. While it’s raining. Grow confidence in your skills, ask questions, make mistakes, and learn something new at KNOW-HOW! 

Space is limited. Please register in advance at decorahlibrary.org. If you have questions or an idea for a future KNOW-HOW workshop, please contact Zach Row-Heyveld (zrow-heyveld@decorahlibrary.org) or LeRoy Smith (leroy@arthausdecorah.org), Executive Director at ArtHaus.
