Join Our "Plant a Seed" Stick Puppet Workshop

Calling all creative teens! Join sustainable artist Leila Ghasempor for an inspiring, hands-on workshop centered around the theme "Plant a Seed."

In this session, we will explore the power of growth—both in nature and within ourselves. You will learn to craft your own imaginative stick puppet character using natural wood, colorful yarn, and collected dried seeds elements. These puppets serve as "guardians" for the ideas we want to grow in the world.

This is a relaxing opportunity to learn a new skill, empower your big ideas, and create a unique piece of art that represents your hopes for the future. Whether you want to plant a seed of kindness, courage, or creativity, come share your vision and take home your own 'Seed Guardian.

For ages 12-18. Registration is not required and walk-ins welcome!

No prior crafting experience is required. All materials are provided.
