On May 3rd at 1p - 3p, we will be hosting a rather non-traditional MOTHER Day activity.

One would describe “mother” as a caring, nurturing, inspiring, respected, and powerful feminine figure. This class will have participants create felt portraits of their “Mother”. People who may fit “mother” include Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama, their own mother, etc. After this, there will be a show-and-tell aspect where you explain who your portrait is depicting, why they inspire you, and how they help to build others up.

On Sunday May 3rd from 10a - 12p, join us in creating a gift for mom or bring her along and create a memory together!
