We will be crafting easy-to-make Aztec & African textile earrings. These earrings are lightweight and super fun to create. This free workshop has 20 spots and is suitable for folks 12+, and will require the use of a hot glue gun, scissors, and bead reamer.

A free art kit of materials needed will be mailed out to participants, so sign up by Wednesday, February 17 to secure your kit!
