Family Art Days: Magical Memory Box with Amy Plant
Join the San Juan Islands Museum of Art for a free, hands-on Family Art Days class inspired by artist Joseph Cornell's Shadow Memory Boxes, or "Poetic Theaters" of story. Led by local artist Amy Plant, children and their accompanying adult will make a miniature story scene inside a small box frame using decoupage and assemblage with found objects. A treasure trove of materials will be provided, and families are welcome to bring small items from home, such as photos, maps, tickets, book pages, shells, board game pieces, buttons, and tiny toys. The class is free for children ages 5 and up with a supervising adult, and preregistration is encouraged as space is limited.
