Upcoming Workshop

Memory Capsule Workshop
hosted by Latitude Artist Community
Dec. 1, 1-2:30 pm
167 Saunier Street
Lexington, KY

*This event is free and open to the public.

I'm really excited to announce that I will be leading a memory capsule workshop at Latitude Artist Community.  At the workshop we will be creating memory capsules  for Preserved: A participatory installation. Each capsule is meant to represent someone, who though no longer part of capsule creator's life, was  influential in some way. To learn more about the memory capsules check out this post.

Jars will be provided. However, you are encouraged to bring materials representing the person you wish to memorialize. While we will provide materials for the workshop, they may not carry as much significance as materials you bring yourself (such as newspaper clippings, memorabilia, etc.).
