Workshops
Participants learn to make award ribbons and/or scout-style badges out of felt, and embroider the personal award or affirmation of their choice.
Participants will explore beloved memories of "Home" through art. Participants will follow along with prompts and activities, and use various materials and techniques including paper and mixed media collage, drawing, creative writing, and more. This workshop is all about providing an outlet to both write out and visually map out parts of our memories.
