Join us for a family friendly event celebrating Harriet Tubman! Learn and see how the Harriet Tubman stamp is made. You will assemble your own 3D printed handle and laser cut stamp that you can take home. Bring your own $20 bills to stamp and keep. There will also be a short performance of the show "Harriet Tubman Herself" by Christine Dixon.
Meet Dano Wall, the artist who came up with the idea for the Harriet Tubman stamp in order to express his disappointment over the decision of the Treasury Secretary that Harriet Tubman's image would not make it on to the $20 bill until 2028.

Refunds/Cancellations:
We reserve the right to cancel the class if we do not have a minimum amount of students. If we cancel, we will refund you in full and notify you.
You may cancel and get a full refund up to three days before the class. After that, refunds are contingent on us being able to fill your seat. Under no circumstances do we offer refunds to individuals who cancel on the same day. This ruins the party for everyone.
