Join us for a hands-on workshop with Jean, where humble materials take center stage. Using a thoughtful mix locally sourced dried beans we’ll create mosaic-style pieces that feel both playful and unexpectedly refined.
Spell your name, build a pattern, sketch a small scene, this is process-driven, tactile making at its best.
Open to adults and kids, with space for each to settle in and create in their own way. Each bean artist needs their own ticket.
All materials are provided. Kids 2 and under are FREE and welcome ! Extra hands are onsite to support baby care.
