Make Day! Felt Portraits

Join us in the Studio this Sunday to honour African Heritage Month! Create your own felt portraits using bright colours and different shapes, while thinking about memory, legacy, identity, and community.  We’ll use decorative stitching and felt scraps to make a textile artwork that shares our family, ourselves, and our stories. We’ll turn our finished portrait into a wall hanging to display at home.  Bring a photo of you or your family for inspiration!

Work independently, or with your small group, this program is great for children ages 5+ with an adult. Drop-in, included with the price of admission.

About the program:

Make Day is a studio program for emerging artists of all ages! Designed as an intergenerational art workshop, these sessions lead participants in a short art lesson that introduces an art technique or process, resulting in a fun art piece you can take home. A great way to get connected, inspired, and creative with friends or family. Each month’s activity is inspired by works in an exhibition currently on view.
