Librarians do not read all day, of course. In their free time they are bursting with creativity, trying out new artistic techniques and trending crafts. This highly original exposition brings together the artwork of five WUR librarians. On display are one-of-a kind pieces and unique, high quality artwork. Come visit the exhibition on the 3rd floor in Forum Library. It runs until June 2019.

Linda is a multi-talent. She plays baritone, writes poems, draws and paints. For this exhibition she has selected a few pencil drawings and some colourful flower and bird paintings in acrylic.

Jan Vos
Jan is another multi-talent. He plays the didgeridoo, writes poems and uses different fine art techniques. He draws in pencil and pen, and he sculpts in several types of stone. And last but not least, he uses fire to draw on wood. This technique is called pyrography.
