Hands-on with Micro-Painting
with Jessica Valoris
Join us for a hands-on workshop led by Jessica Valoris where participants are invited on a speculative exploration of our names and how we find “home” within. We will delve into how our names are our own worlds we carry with us and translate these meanings into micro paintings. No experience necessary. All materials provided.
