Laura Flaherty was wearing a couple hats at the William P. Faust Public Li­ brary of Westland on Ttiesday evening. “I always kind of thought about being an art teacher,” the children’s librarian said. “I love art and I’ve been in art for years,” including high school and col­ lege classes.

Said Jeanine Borghina, 11, of Westland, “I think that it’s fun.” She likes how the Painting Party teaches “even if they don’t know how to do art,” and is a Marshall Upper Elementary School sixth-grader. Nearby concentrating on her work was Victoria Ceci, 13, of Westland, a seventh-grader at Franklin Middle School. “I like it because I like doing more art stuff,” she said, adding, “I learned where you can add more (paint) so it can gradually get darker.” Flaherty’s friend who does painting parties professionally told the librarian she’d be fine as the instructor.
