CRAFT STORY TIME

The Craft in America Center invites families and their young ones (ages 2-7) to our newest family activity program: CRAFT STORY TIME! Craft in America’s school programmer and Center librarian, Sam, will guide us through Jeannie Baker’s experimentally-bound book: “Mirror” (pictured below)

Come and join this free, art-based event! We’ll have fun conversations about craft art and guided creative activities for youngsters and families in our gallery.

This session, attendees will enjoy–

  • Looking, listening, and sharing about how artists craft their books
  • Learning more about craft art, from the page to the gallery!
  • Engaging in visual-storytelling & motor-movement activities 
  • The chance to partake in a gallery scavenger hunt & coloring station

Stay tuned for more about our next CRAFT STORY TIME session. For more information about K-12 school programming and educational resources, please email center@craftinamerica.org
