(For grownups) Join a roundtable discussion about fairy tales and how they've been significant in your life. Conversations will be facilitated by Guest Artist: Professional Storyteller: Priscilla Howe. Using a variety of forest themed stencils, we will depict the forest on a 7 inch tall gothic window die cut from mat board. Students will then select a fairy tale character from an extensive collection of vintage resources and collage it into the scene. Make a decorative porch or portico if you are so inspired. If participants are interested, finished pieces may be submitted to be included in Liza’s solo show a the Phoenix Underground for July Final Friday that explores the forest as a character in fairy tales.

Class size is limited to 8 participants. REGISTRATION REQUIRED
