mother i season's calendar

The 2003 winter theme:
home — reflections of our creative spirit

This winter we'll explore how our personal surroundings feed and express our creative spirits. We will begin the season by stating our stepping stones and creative goals. During the workshop we will make treasure photo boxes. Then, we will discuss our personal surroundings, share our creative pursuits and explore the creative expressions of our communities. Finally, we will celebrate in an unfamiliar place within our community.

workshop — treasure photo boxes
