What is a characteristic you would like to embody? Maybe you’re naturally shy but secretly wish you were a fearless social butterfly. Or maybe you’ve envisioned yourself as 10 feet tall, able to conquer any obstacle. At this Saturday Open Studio, you are invited to create a small, aspirational artwork that will remind you of the persona you might like to share with the world. Using our curated assortment of collage materials, craft a unique totem, complete with a hidden affirmation, to carry with you or display in the space of your choosing.
