Sculptor Monica Banks will lead a workshop creating household items that defiantly refuse to fulfill their intended function. More details to be announced soon!
Art Social is a monthly gathering where attendees enter into a supportive and judgment-free session of art/craftmaking and socializing. Bring your friends and expect to make new ones while tapping into your creative selves. Workshops will be led by experts in their practice, and the projects are designed to be easily and enjoyably accomplished by all skill levels.
