Altars & Adornments - Paper-mâché Workshop

Altars & Adornments invites participants to create small altars/shrines and ornaments using paper-mâché, exploring the intersections of self-love, honoring our histories, and aspirations as survivors. This medium utilizes cardboard and tape to create a structure, which is then covered in recycled paper and paste (made up of flour & water). This workshop will engage the senses through the tactile process of paper-mâché. All supplies provided.
