What do coffee, beets, chocolate, and flowers have to do with art? Join us as we take inspiration from Ed Ruscha’s
art made from “overlooked things.” We’ll experiment by making marks with a multitude of materials in this hands-on, sensory workshop. For families with kids ages 4-6. Register for one session only, as the program will be repeated. Select a date and register here.
