April 23, 2011, Saturday - Celebrate Earth Day at MCBA
Time: 10:00am-Noon
Location: Minnesota Center for Book Arts, 1011 Washington Avenue South
Families with children ages 2 and up.
Anne Rockwell's Our Earth kicks off our papermaking celebration. Pull circle sheets of white cotton paper and color with ocean blue, land green and more. Decorate with recycled yarns, shredded papers and cut outs of people, plants and animals. Plant seeds in your paper, too! Waterproof shoes suggested.
Join Ellen Ferrari for Saturday mornings of family book arts fun! Each workshop starts off with a story and game to warm up your creativity and then dives into a book arts project. Workshops accommodate a range of developmental levels so that adults and children (or adult/child teams) may choose to work together or side-by-side. Each participant receives supplies to use during the workshop, but may choose to bring one set home if working with his or her partner. Ellen will provide older children with suggestions for extending their learning.
