Join artist Miguel Arzabe for a paper weaving workshop centered around family. Materials will be provided however the artist asks that you bring photos or documents of personal significance to incorporate into the weaving. These materials will be cut into strips and so we encourage you bring copies. Participants will have access to a photocopier to copy or enlarge images.
