About This Program
Create your very own stained glass-inspired paper collage in a fun and relaxing art activity! Based on Christopher Myers' work in Please Trouble, Carry Me, we will explore the artistic element of movement. Your creation could reflect a time in your life when something changed, like if you or your family moved to a different place, or where you envision yourself in the future.
This fun and interactive workshop is open to all ages. Join us in creating a beautiful collage of where we have been, and where we are going!
Family First is presented by Novant Health
