An Art Class with CHAP - Creating Scrappy Friends 

Community Event
12:00 pm 1:00 pm
Homemade toys and characters made found objects and recycling

Maura Jess, Hospital-based Teaching Artist, will lead us in an exercise in Creating Characters Using Recycled and Found Materials. 

Together let's explore some of the many creative ways to use the materials already around your home that might otherwise be headed for your trash or recycling. 

We will give new life to these materials and meet the unique and interesting characters just waiting to be discovered.
