Yarning Paper Monsters

Join CASP (Cubberley Artist Studio Program) artist residents Nina Ekman and Sang-ah Choi in a creative workshop for youth where we will  explore color and rhythm with paper and yarn.

In this workshop, children will engage with soft, linear elements of colorful yarns alongside structural, three-dimensional paper forms. Through spontaneous exploration, they will delve into their playful imagination to uncover their own "monstrous mysteries of creation." Participants will practice cutting, tying, gluing and embroidery skills as part of the creative process. 

Registration required. Recommended for ages 9-13.
