Terracotta Relief Mandalas
What’s a mandala? Participants will be introduced to the rich history of mandalas as well as contemporary radial designs to develop their own one-of-a-kind relief, terracotta clay wall hanging. The best part is we’ll be using air dry terracotta so no need to fire it in the kiln!

Prints and Pop-Ups
Let’s use the printing press! In this session participants will design a small series of styrofoam plates to print on using a printing press. Bring your own t-shirt or tote bag to print on if you’d like! Participants will also incorporate one of their print designs into an interactive pop-up.
