Not only through the imprint of your own face, but the stories and symbols that help make you who you are. Bring a partner for this activity! Parent and child partners are welcome. Partners will use the art making process to express and share personal or family stories. In this FREE two-session workshop, we will make plaster masks on our own faces, which will help prompt us to share personal stories. All materials provided! Please plan to register and attend both sessions: June 18th, 3-5pm June 25th, 3-5pm If you are registered for this activity and are unable to make it, please cancel your registration so those on the waitlist may attend. _________________________________________________________ These art programs are coordinated through the City of Auburn, Parks, Arts & Recreation Department with the support of the Auburn Arts Commission.
