SATURDAY: 10 a.m.–4 p.m. | SUNDAY: 11 a.m.–4 p.m.

Crealdé School of Art will lead creative workshops for children under a tent in South Central Park, near the Veteran’s Fountain. The workshops will include:

The Gnome: Every garden needs a bit of whimsy, and in a few simple steps, children can create their own gnome out of polymer clay to bring some magic home.

Self-Portrait Doll: With tinfoil and pipe cleaners, children will create a human-shaped small sculpture. They’ll use masking tape representing different skin colors to wrap around the sculpture and create a 3D selfportrait. In addition, a variety of materials such as cloth, ribbon, wire, beads and yarn will be used to dress the dolls and make their hair. As a final touch, there’ll be markers and pens to draw smiles on the dolls’ faces.

Kapa Bark Cloth Painting: Made throughout the islands of the Pacific, “Kapa” is the Hawaiian name for bark cloth. In this project, children will use kraft and brown construction paper to paint images of sea animals, plants, leaves and an array of organic and geometric shapes. They’ll also learn to reproduce the look of ancient Kapa Bark Cloth by painting with a limited palette of browns, black and white — giving an earthy, natural feel to these works of art.
